Will you be there? my yearning heart has cried: Ah me, my love, my love, shall I be there, To sit down in your glory and to share Your gladness, glowing as a virgin bride? Or will another dearer, fairer-eyed, Sit nigher to you in your jubilee; And mindful one of other will you be Borne higher and higher on joy's ebbless tide? -- Yea, if I love I will not grudge you this: I too shall float upon that heavenly sea And sing my joyful praises without ache; Your overflow of joy shall gladden me, My whole heart shall sing praises for your sake And find its own fulfilment in your bliss. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE PURPLE COW by FRANK GELETT BURGESS CANADA by CHARLES GEORGE DOUGLAS ROBERTS THE WOODSPURGE by DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI ESCAPE AT BEDTIME by ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON STARTING FROM PAUMANOK by WALT WHITMAN THE LOVE SONNETS OF PROTEUS: 103.
