HE SHALL GO NO MORE OUT, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Once within, within for evermore
Last Line: Once within.
Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina


Once within, within for evermore:
There the long beatitudes begin:
Overflows the still unwasting store,
Once within.

Left without are death and doubt and sin;
All man wrestled with and all he bore,
Man who saved his life, skin after skin.

Blow the trumpet-blast unheard before,
Shout the unheard-of shout for these who win,
These, who cast their crowns on Heaven's high floor
Once within.
