   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
