18 When the dove of God comes down And beats round my heart and sings;

This is the price I pay For the light I shall some day see At the ends of the infinite earth When truth shall come to me.

And what if my body die Before I meet the truth? The road is dear, more dear Than love or life or youth.

The road, it is the road, Mystical, endless, kind, Mother of visions vast, Mother of soul and mind;

Mother of all of me   But the blood that cries for a mate&mdash; That cries for a farewell kiss From the child of God at the gate.
