THE RECALL, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Return, they cry, ere yet your day
Last Line: Return.
Subject(s): Heaven; Soul; Paradise


RETURN, they cry, ere yet your day
Set, and the sky grow stern:
Return, strayed souls, while yet ye may
Return.

But heavens beyond us yearn;
Yea, heights of heaven above the sway
Of stars that eyes discern.
The soul whose wings from shoreward stray
Makes toward her viewless bourne
Though trustless faith and unfaith say,
Return.
