DIVINE COUNSEL.
And if her soul has gained some place divine;
If even now she sits in heaven, and sees
All round her ranged its shining companies,—
Has not God turned her heart from loving mine?
Has He not said to her, “A soul like thine
Will find more sweet companionship in these
Who, being peaceful, know how sweet is peace,
Than in the offspring of a stormy line?”
If even now she sits in heaven, and sees
All round her ranged its shining companies,—
Has not God turned her heart from loving mine?
Has He not said to her, “A soul like thine
Will find more sweet companionship in these
Who, being peaceful, know how sweet is peace,
Than in the offspring of a stormy line?”
Yea, He has called that love of hers a sin,
And purged her of it, and that love is dead!
Thus, even if some place near her I win,
She will not say the things on Earth she said,
God having turned her heart from me; and so,
What I have known I never more can know.
And purged her of it, and that love is dead!
Thus, even if some place near her I win,
She will not say the things on Earth she said,
God having turned her heart from me; and so,
What I have known I never more can know.
