ANIMA CAPTIVA
I was
halfway to Heaven, the stars
Were large and low above me,
Forgotten all earth's bonds and bars,
No heart to hate or love me.
Were large and low above me,
Forgotten all earth's bonds and bars,
No heart to hate or love me.
Love me!—alas, the word! At this
The waning world re-brightened;
Ev'n at the very gates of bliss
The tether of earth was tightened.
The waning world re-brightened;
Ev'n at the very gates of bliss
The tether of earth was tightened.
