The Beatific Vision, By: G.K. Chesterton

The Beatific Vision, By: G.K. Chesterton

    Through what fierce incarnations, furled
    In fire and darkness, did I go,
    Ere I was worthy in the world
    To see a dandelion grow?

    Well, if in any woes or wars
    I bought my naked right to be,
    Grew worthy of the grass, nor gave
    The wren, my brother, shame for me.

    But what shall God not ask of him
    In the last time when all is told,
    Who saw her stand beside the hearth,
    The firelight garbing her in gold?
