< < < Evening
Except to heaven, she is nought > > >

Except the heaven had come so near

---

Except the heaven had come so near,

So seemed to choose my door,

The distance would not haunt me so;

I had not hoped before.

---

But just to hear the grace depart

I never thought to see,

Afflicts me with a double loss;

‘T is lost, and lost to me.
