4.2He hath laid down the foundations of the lofty Citadel, He hath inaugurated the Cycle of Glory, He hath brought forth a new creation on this day that is clearly Judgement Day—and still do the heedless stay fast in their drunken sleep.

4.3The Bugle2 hath sounded, the Trumpet3 hath been blown, the Crier hath raised his call, and all upon the earth have swooned away—but still do the dead, in the tombs of their bodies, sleep on.

4.4And the second clarion4 hath sounded, there hath followed the second blast after the first,5 and the dread woe hath come, and every nursing mother hath forgot the infant at her breast6—yet still the people, confused and distracted, heed it not.

4.5And the Resurrection hath dawned, and the Hour hath struck, and the Path hath been drawn straight, and the Balance hath been set up, and all upon the earth have been gathered together7—but still the people see no sign of the way.

4.6The light hath shone forth, and radiance floodeth Mount Sinai, and a gentle wind bloweth from over the gardens of the Ever-Forgiving Lord; the sweet breaths of the spirit are passing by, and those who lay buried in the grave are rising up—and still do the heedless slumber on in their tombs.
