MY heart is there, Where, on eternal hills, my loved one dwells, Among the lilies and the asphodels; Clad in the brightness of the Great White Throne, Glad in the smile of Him who sits thereon; The glory gilding all his wealth of hair, And making his immortal face more fair; There is my treasure, and my heart is there. My heart is there; With him who made all earthly life so sweet; So fit to live, and yet to die so meet; So meek, so grand, so gentle, and so brave, So ready to forgive, so strong to save; His fair, pure spirit makes the heavens more fair, And thither rises all my longing prayer; There is my treasure, and my heart is there. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE SAND-MAN by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR AT CASTLE BOTEREL by THOMAS HARDY BEAUTIFUL MEALS by THOMAS STURGE MOORE IN MEMORIAM A.H.H.: 101 by ALFRED TENNYSON TO THE RAILROAD MEN by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS A SONG: REVENGE AGAINST CYNTHIA by PHILIP AYRES CARPE DIEM by JEAN ANTOINE DE BAIF COLONIAL SET by ALFRED GOLDSWORTHY BAILEY TO A LADY, WITH SOME PAINTED FLOWERS by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD |
