The Last Invocation + 

At the last, tenderly, + 

From the walls of the powerful fortress’d house, + 

From the clasp of the knitted locks, from the keep of the well-closed doors, + 

Let me be wafted. + 

Let me glide noiselessly forth; + 

With the key of softness unlock the locks⁠—with a whisper, + 

Set ope the doors O soul. + 

Tenderly⁠—be not impatient, + 

(Strong is your hold O mortal flesh, + 

Strong is your hold O love.) + 
