The soul should always stand ajar

---

The soul should always stand ajar,

   That if the heaven inquire,

He will not be obliged to wait,

   Or shy of troubling her.

---

Depart, before the host has slid

   The bolt upon the door,

To seek for the accomplished guest, —

   Her visitor no more.
