Last Line: Is it too large for you?
Subject(s): Hearts; God; Grief


Father-I bring thee not myself-

That were the little load-

I bring thee the imperial Heart

I had not strength to hold-

The heart I cherished in my own

Till mine-too heavy grew-

Yet-strangest-heavier-since it went-
Is it too large for you?
