WILL YOU BE THERE?, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Will you be there? My yearning heart has cried
Last Line: And find its own fulfilment in your bliss.
Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina


Will you be there? my yearning heart has cried:
Ah me, my love, my love, shall I be there,
To sit down in your glory and to share
Your gladness, glowing as a virgin bride?
Or will another dearer, fairer-eyed,
Sit nigher to you in your jubilee;
And mindful one of other will you be
Borne higher and higher on joy's ebbless tide?
-- Yea, if I love I will not grudge you this:
I too shall float upon that heavenly sea
And sing my joyful praises without ache;
Your overflow of joy shall gladden me,
My whole heart shall sing praises for your sake
And find its own fulfilment in your bliss.
