Earth's Way and Heaven's Way
What shall we be in that strange land,
So near and yet so far,
So just beyond a single breath, —
But absolute the bar?
It may be " I," it may be " You,"
It may be closelier one, —
Life within life; and Earth's old way
Seem hardly life begun.
But O so sweet this little while
First to be " You" and " I", —
To see, to hear, to touch, — to love,
Earth's way, ere Heaven we try!
So near and yet so far,
So just beyond a single breath, —
But absolute the bar?
It may be " I," it may be " You,"
It may be closelier one, —
Life within life; and Earth's old way
Seem hardly life begun.
But O so sweet this little while
First to be " You" and " I", —
To see, to hear, to touch, — to love,
Earth's way, ere Heaven we try!
