Earth and Heaven

What harmonies of earth are heard in heaven? . . .
If heaven there be, it is not strange nor far;
Much nearer is it than the morning star,
And human as our hearts which die forgiven.

O if there be that other world, that grace
Of souls redeemed, we breathe it like the air;
And angels are about us everywhere
In love's good deeds, in life's transfigured face.
