'Twas a long parting - but the time

'Twas a long Parting - but the time
For Interview - had Come -
Before the Judgment Seat of God -
The last - and second time

These Fleshless Lovers met -
A Heaven in a Gaze -
A Heaven of Heavens - the Privilege
Of One another's Eyes -

No Lifetime set - on Them -
Appareled as the new
Unborn - except They had beheld -
Borneverlasting infiniter - now -

Was Bridal - e'er like This?
A Paradise - the Host -
And Cherubim - and Seraphim -
Themost familiar - unobtrusive Guest -
