Original text and translations
English text
- There, in that other world, what waits for me ?
- What shall I find after that other birth ?
- No stormy, tossing, foaming, smiling sea,
- But a new earth.
- No sun to mark the changing of the days,
- No slow, soft falling of the alternative night,
- No moon, no star, no light upon my ways,
- Only the Light.
- No grey cathedral,
- Wide and wondrous fair,
- That I may tread
- Where all my fathers trod.
- Nay, nay, my soul,
- No house of God is there,
- But only God,
- Only God.
- Lyrics: Mary Elizabeth Coleridge - (1861-1907)
