The hallowing of Pain 1
Like hallowing of Heaven,
Obtains at a corporeal cost-
The Summit is not given
To Him who strives severe 5
At middle of the Hill-
But He who has achieved the Top-
All-is the price of All-
Like hallowing of Heaven,
Obtains at a corporeal cost-
The Summit is not given
To Him who strives severe 5
At middle of the Hill-
But He who has achieved the Top-
All-is the price of All-
