She did not know that she was deadA
But when the pang was o'erB
Sat down to wait her Master's treadA
Upon the Golden FloorC
-
With ears full cock and anxious eyeD
Impatiently resignedE
But ignorant that ParadiseF
Did not admit her kindE
-
Persons with Haloes Harps and WingsG
Assembled and reprovedE
Or talked to her of Heavenly thingsG
But Dinah never movedE
-
There was one step along the StairH
That led to Heaven's GateE
And till she heard it her affairH
Was she explained to waitE
-
And she explained with flattened earI
Bared lip and milky toothJ
Storming against Ithuriel's SpearK
That only proved her truthJ
-
Sudden far down the Bridge of GhostsL
That anxious spirits clombM
She caught that step in all the hostsL
And knew that he had comeM
-
She left them wondering what to doE
But not a doubt had sheN
Swifter than her own squeal she flewE
Across the Glassy SeaN
-
Flushing the Cherubs every whereH
And skidding as she ranO
She refuged under Peter's ChairH
And waited for her manO
-
-
-
There spoke a Spirit out of the pressP
'Said quot Have you any hereI
That saved a fool from drunkennessQ
And a coward from his fearK
-
quot That turned a soul from dark to dayE
When other help was vainR
That snatched it from Wanhope and madeE
A cur a man again quotE
-
quot Enter and look quot said Peter thenS
And set The Gate ajarT
quot If know aught of women and menS
I trow she is not far quotE
-
quot Neither by virtue speech nor artE
Nor hope of grace to winU
But godless innocence of heartE
That never heard of sinU
-
quot Neither by beauty nor beliefV
Nor white example shownW
Something a wanton more a thiefV
But most of all mine own quotE
-
quot Enter and look quot said Peter thenS
quot And send you well to speedE
But for all that I know of women and menS
Your riddle is hard to read quotE
-
Then flew Dinah from under the ChairH
Into his arms she flewE
And licked his face from chin to hairH
And Peter passed them throughE
