| 1570. Heaven |
| | | By Martha Gilbert Dickinson |
| |
| |
| ONLY to find Forever, blest | |
| By thine encircling arm; | |
| Only to lie beyond unrest | |
| In passions dreamy calm! | |
| |
| Only to meet and never part, | 5 |
| To sleep and never wake, | |
| Heart unto heart and soul to soul, | |
| Dead for each others sake. | |
