A HEAVEN, by MARGARET MARY LEE

First Line: And this I would call heaven
Last Line: If you were only there.
Subject(s): Longing
And this I would call heaven: --
A house upon a hill,
Where logs lie smoldering on a hearth
When everything is still, --
Where evening shadows lengthen
Like a hallowed prayer;
That would be a heaven
If you were only there.
