Part Three: Love XV |
| ’T WAS a long parting, but the time | |
| For interview had come; | |
| Before the judgment-seat of God, | |
| The last and second time | |
| These fleshless lovers met, | 5 |
| A heaven in a gaze, | |
| A heaven of heavens, the privilege | |
| Of one another’s eyes. | |
| No lifetime set on them, | |
| Apparelled as the new | 10 |
| Unborn, except they had beheld, | |
| Born everlasting now. | |
| Was bridal e’er like this? | |
| A paradise, the host, | |
| And cherubim and seraphim | 15 |
| The most familiar guest. |
