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

                    ________
