36. The burial ground

```

Earth

Is 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.
