HEAVEN by MARTHA GILBERT DICKINSON

First Line: ONLY TO FIND FOREVER, BLEST
Last Line: DEAD FOR EACH OTHER'S SAKE.

ONLY to find Forever, blest
By thine encircling arm;
Only to lie beyond unrest
In passion's dreamy calm!

Only to meet and never part,
To sleep and never wake, --
Heart unto heart and soul to soul,
Dead for each other's sake.
