Religion
The Two Heavens
From My Lyrical Life, First Series (1889)
Religion
There are two Heavens for natures clear
And cairn as thine, my gentle Love!
One Heaven but reflected here;
One Heaven that waits above:
As yonder Lake, in Evening's red,
Lies smiling with the smile of Rest;
One Heaven glowing overhead;
One mirrored in its breast.
