TOWARDS DEMOCRACY: PART 2. LO! I OPEN A DOOR by EDWARD CARPENTER

First Line: LO! I OPEN A DOOR
Last Line: WHO SHALL NOT PASS BY ME INTO JOY ETERNAL?
Subject(s): FREEDOM; LIBERTY;
LO! I open a door.
Through all suffering, through being an outcast myself, in prison and
condemned,
Lying on the floor of existence as one accursed and outlawed—
Who shall not pass by me into joy eternal?
