SEPARATION, by                    
First Line: And I would live in the house of my lord
Last Line: After this travail of separation is over.
Alternate Author Name(s): Hartley, Loretta P. W.
Subject(s): Faith; Belief; Creed


And I would live in the house of my Lord
And spend the gold of my passion,
Long saved for the granting of His desires,
That He may pleasure Himself
With the ecstasies of delight
Till we were weak with the wonderment
Of love's lavishness, and were as one,
So fused with the same ebb and flow
Of this so perfect of emotions.
Thus shall I share my inheritance of love
With my Lord, when first we come together,
After this travail of separation is over.
