ADEST by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: HEAVEN IS NOT FAR,' THE VIOLET SAITH
Last Line: "THAT BURNS ABOVE."
Subject(s): HEAVEN; PARADISE;
"Heaven is not far," the Violet saith,
"The fragrance of my censer-breath,
That lures to Love,
Upon the altar whence it came
Commingles with the sacred flame
That burns above."
