LXV. EVEN IN HEAVEN
Not even in heaven, if heaven I e'er attain,
A heaven bestrewed
With flowers of joy, would peace within me reign.
My risen eager spirit would
A heaven bestrewed
With flowers of joy, would peace within me reign.
My risen eager spirit would
Stoop downward ever through the golden air
Seeking for thee
And pause e'en in the midst of holiest prayer
If thou hadst need of me.
Seeking for thee
And pause e'en in the midst of holiest prayer
If thou hadst need of me.
No high delight of heaven, no towers of gold,
Would make me glad
If thou wert lonely on the earth,—a-cold
And lorn and tired and sad.
Would make me glad
If thou wert lonely on the earth,—a-cold
And lorn and tired and sad.
Thy lonely look would strike up through the sky:
Thine eyes would reach
Through all the stars and find me. One short sigh
Would move me more than angels' speech.
Thine eyes would reach
Through all the stars and find me. One short sigh
Would move me more than angels' speech.
