L'ENVOI, by                    
First Line: Deep heart of love where never sound is heard
Last Line: Loves which on earth were but in shadow thrown.
Subject(s): Gardens & Gardening; God; Heaven; Love; Paradise


Deep heart of love where never sound is heard,
Beneath the wash and wave of any word,
From out our vision shut the earthly day
And we shall see God's ocean gardens sway,—

Fair lives cut off in promise of their flower;
Beauty in bud; manhood despoiled of power;
And there, into immortal beauty grown,
Loves which on earth were but in shadow thrown.
