"What wait I for?" The day of Truth is here!
Why gaze in dreams, when all about is light
And Love? The clash of arms and raging fear
Of war are passing with the waning night.
"What wait I for?" Truth's swift-advancing dawn
Has swept away the night, and I can see
The harvest fields, the golden fruits upon
The ground, matured by Love's own radiancy.
"What wait I for?" The virgin paths of Mind
Are laid before my feet, and no delay
Can make me linger in the night or blind
Me to the cloudless glory of Truth's day.
Before me Sinai's wind-swept pathways soar;
God calls me up the mount. "What wait I for?"
