ANTICIPATION, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Some day in highest heaven, made fair and white
Last Line: As I shall be that day.
Subject(s): Future Life; Retribution; Eternity; After Life


Some day in highest heaven, made fair and white
Before your happy sight,
I shall become, dear love, a fitting mate
For your so pure estate.

Would it were now! but since that cannot be,
I beg you look on me
With forward vision; see me now, I pray,
As I shall be that day.
