| | | OPEN to me the door of heaven | |
| For an hour, an hour! | |
| Let me pace the floor of heaven, | |
| Let me pluck one flower! | |
| |
| Forever and forever heaven | 5 |
| Will live upon my lips. | |
| I shall remember. Never heaven | |
| Shall fail my seeking ships. | |
| |
| I shall be shod and swathed with heaven— | |
| Ah, the blue filmy veil— | 10 |
| Because for an hour I bathed in heaven | |
| Whose winds hurt and heal. | |
| |
| I shall remember. Songs of heaven, | |
| I shall sing them still; | |
| Like the silver throngs of heaven | 15 |
| I shall have heaven’s will. | |
| |
| So open to me the door of heaven | |
| For an hour, an hour! | |
| Let me breathe the air of heaven, | |
| Let me pluck one flower! | 20 | | | |
