I see the high pioneer-caps — I see the staves of

runners clearing the way,

I hear victorious drums.

18. This face is a life-boat,

This is the face commanding and bearded, it asks no odds of the rest,

This face is flavored fruit, ready for eating,

This face of a healthy honest boy is the programme of all good.

19. These faces bear testimony slumbering or awake,

They show their descent from the Master himself.

20. Off the word I have spoken I except not one — red, white, black, are all deific,

In each house is the ovum — it comes forth after a thousand years.

21. Spots or cracks at the windows do not disturb me,

Tall and sufficient stand behind, and make signs to me,

I read the promise, and patiently wait.

22. This is a full-grown lily's face,

She speaks to the limber-hipp'd man near the garden pickets,

'Come here', she blushingly cries — 'Come nigh to me limber-hipp'd man, and give me your finger and thumb,'

'Stand at my side till I lean as high as I can upon you,

Fill me with albescent honey, bend down to me,

Rub to me with your chafing beard, rub to my breast and shoulders,'
