AMBERGRIS
27
Heaven is not very far ;
Soul unto soul may be calling
When a swift meteor star
Through the quick vista is falling.
Loose but your soulshall its wings find the white
way so appalling ?
Heaven, as I understand,
Nearer than some folk would make it !
Godshould you stretch out a hand,
Who can be quicker to take it ?
Then you have pacted an oathjudge you if He will
forsake it !
I have had hope in the spring
Trust that the God who has given
Flowers, and the thrushes that sing
Dawnwards all night, and at even
Year after year, will be true now we are speaking of
heaven.
