'T was a long parting, but the time
For interview had come
Before the judgment-seat of God
The last and second time
These fleshless lovers met
A heaven in a gaze
A heaven of heavens, the privilege
Of one another's eyes
No lifetime set on them
Apparelled as the new
Unborn, except they had beheld
Born everlasting now
Was bridal e'er like this?
A paradise, the host
And cherubim and seraphim
The most familiar guest
