VICISSITUDES by GAMALIEL BRADFORD

First Line: I REMEMBER PASSIONATE FLIGHTS
Last Line: HEAVEN AFTER HELL.
Subject(s): DESPAIR;

I remember passionate flights
After the divine,
In the starlit summer nights:
God it seemed was mine.

I remember dark despair,
Not a star to see,
God no longer anywhere,
Anywhere for me.

Still they come and still they go.
How I cannot tell,
Darkness after starry glow,
Heaven after hell.
