Renunciation + 

At eventide the Pilgrim came + 

And knocked at the Belovéd’s door. + 

“Whose there!” a voice within, “Thy name?” + 

“ ’T is I,” he said.⁠—“Then knock no more. + 

As well ask thou a lodging of the sea⁠— + 

There is no room herein for thee and me.” + 

The Pilgrim went again his way + 

And dwelt with Love upon the shore + 

Of self-oblivion; and one day + 

He knocked again at the Belovéd’s door. + 

“Whose there?”⁠—“It is thyself,” he now replied, + 

And suddenly the door was opened wide. + 
