John Hall Wheelock Sweet Poems
- 1. Nirvana
Sleep on-I lie at heaven's high oriels,
Over the stars that murmur as they go
Lighting your lattice-window far below;
And every star some of the glory spells
... - 2. Love Knocks At The Door
In the pain, in the loneliness of love,
To the heart of my sweet I fled.
I knocked at the door of her living heart,
“Let in-let in-” I said.
... - 3. Exile From God
I do not fear to lay my body down
In death, to share
The life of the dark earth and lose my own,
If God is there.
