1
When the Terror descends
2
(and none denies its descending)
4
when the earth shall be rocked
5
and the mountains crumbled
6
and become a dust, scattered,
7
and you shall be three bands --
8
Companions of the Right (O Companions of the Right!)
9
Companions of the Left (O Companions of the Left!)
10
and the Outstrippers: the Outstrippers
11
those are they brought nigh the Throne,
12
in the Gardens of Delight
13
(a throng of the ancients
14
and how few of the later folk)
15
upon close-wrought couches
16
reclining upon them, set face to face,
17
immortal youths going round about them
18
with goblets, and ewers, and a cup from a spring
19
(no brows throbbing, no intoxication)
20
and such fruits as they shall choose,
21
and such flesh of fowl as they desire,
23
as the likeness of hidden pearls,
24
a recompense for that they laboured.
25
Therein they shall hear no idle talk, no cause of sin,
26
only the saying 'Peace, Peace!'
27
The Companions of the Right (O Companions of the Right!)
28
mid thornless lote-trees
