‘T was a long parting, but the time
\nFor interview had come;
\nBefore the judgment-seat of God,
\nThe last and second time<\/p>\n
These fleshless lovers met,
\nA heaven in a gaze,
\nA heaven of heavens, the privilege
\nOf one another’s eyes.<\/p>\n
No lifetime set on them,
\nApparelled as the new
\nUnborn, except they had beheld,
\nBorn everlasting now.<\/p>\n
Was bridal e’er like this?
\nA paradise, the host,
\nAnd cherubim and seraphim
\nThe most familiar guest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
