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.
