MY CAPTIVE by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: I BROUGHT A BLOSSOM HOME WITH ME
Last Line: OF HEAVEN, AND HEAVEN HER COUNTENANCE.
Subject(s): HEAVEN; SYMPATHY; PARADISE; EMPATHY;
I brought a blossom home with me
Beneath my roof to stay;
But timorous and frail was she,
And died before the day:
She missed the measureless expanse
Of heaven, and heaven her countenance.
