36. The burial ground
EarthIs the burial ground of hope.
    I knew it,
    I know it,
I shall always know it.
    Yet I cannot escape
    And enter into the Reality-land.
    Heaven
Is the burial ground of promise.
    I knew it,
    I know it,
I shall always know it.
    Yet I cannot escape
    And enter into the Fulfilment-God.
