SLEET IN HEAVEN, by MARGARET M. L. MILLER First Line: I will not think heaven's a resting place Last Line: How can I ever hope to enter in? Subject(s): Heaven; Paradise | |||
I will not think heaven's a resting place Where always the beneficent sun smiles. The elements are not barred from heaven; Rain's no uncommon visitant there. O ecstatic snow, invigorating rain, Exultant wind, musical hail, fierce sleet, You strong spirits, beautiful and free -- Not heir to men's legacy of petty faults -- If heaven is shut to such as you, How can I ever hope to enter in? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE END OF LIFE by PHILIP JAMES BAILEY SEVEN TWILIGHTS: 6 by CONRAD AIKEN THE BOOK OF THE DEAD MAN (#19): 2.
