While this positivity from quotations
Spread itself under weary feet —
The Comforter encouraged, spoke in thoughts,
The longed-for thresholds drew near.

They say it was my will and strong spirit
That led me to glory —
It was that inner hearing opened to the deaf,
Dishes lured the hungry and the thirsty.

Though I stand on stage at full height
And with raised arms,
Do not call me for an encore,
But the stalker of souls among you.
