HEAVEN by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS

First Line: I THINK I SHALL FIND MEASURES TO POSTPONE
Last Line: ONCE MORE, ONCE MORE TO FEEL MY MOTHER'S KISS.

I think I shall find measures to postpone
The glories of the universal throne,
The choirs of flaming seraphim, the tall
And glittering wonders of the jewelled wall.

I shall get leave to find a little home
Where one has waited long till I should come,
And all the heart of heaven shall be this,
Once more, once more to feel my mother's kiss.
