THE WELCOMING by THEODOSIA (PICKERING) GARRISON

First Line: WE WERE ALONE WHAT TIME YOU SAID
Last Line: OF THAT FIRST WELCOMING.
Subject(s): GREETINGS;
WE were alone what time you said
Your last farewell to me,
Ere yet you joined the happy dead
In their fair company.

God send our meeting be like this
In Heaven's loneliest ring,
Lest angels envy us the bliss
Of that first welcoming.
