THE GATES of PARADISE, For The Sexes (E 268) 
THE KEYS of the GATES

Phrase in context:

THE GATES of PARADISE, For The Sexes (E 268) 
THE KEYS of the GATES
   "But when once I did descry 
   The Immortal Man that cannot Die
   Thro evening shades I haste away 
   To close the Labours of my Day"
   The Door of Death I open found                             
   And the Worm Weaving in the Ground
   Thou'rt my Mother from the Womb 
   Wife, Sister, Daughter to the Tomb 
   Weaving to Dreams the Sexual strife
   And weeping over the Web of Life"
