Who veils the real with its own Idea,
Thou hast woven the ignorant mind into a screen
Thou has used words to shutter out the Light
And called truth to vindicate a lie.
A lying reality is a falsehood’s crown
And a perverted Truth her richest gem
Oh Death, thou speakest truth but truth that slays
I answer to thee with the Truth that saves.
