< < < If you were coming in the fall
Immortality > > >

Immortal is an ample word

---

Immortal is an ample word

   When what we need is by,

But when it leaves us for a time,

   ‘T is a necessity.

---

Of heaven above the firmest proof

   We fundamental know,

Except for its marauding hand,

   It had been heaven below.
