RETROSPECT by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: THE HEAVENS THAT SEEMED SO FAR AWAY
Last Line: ON LOVE'S HORIZON-LINE.
Subject(s): LOVE;
The heavens that seemed so far away
When old-time grief was near,
Beyond the vista seen to-day,
Close o'er my life appear;
For there, in reconcilement sweet,
The human and divine,
The loftiest and the lowliest, meet
On love's horizon-line.
