This page should follow the next page, not precede it
And did it not open to me.
____
But ah, I should know that heart so well,
As a heart so loving & true
As a heart that I held with a golden Spell,
That as long as I changed not I could foretell
That heart would be changeless too.
________
I would keep that heart as the thought of heaven,
To dwell in a life apart.
My good should be done, & my gift be given
In hope of the recompense there: Yea even
My life should be led in that heart.
_____
And so on the eve of some blissful day,
From within should we close the door
On glimmering splendours of love, & stay
In that heart shut up from the world away,
never to open it more
