The Heavenly City BY STEVIE SMITH

I sigh for the heavenly country, Where the heavenly people pass, And the sea is as quiet as a mirror Of beautiful beautiful glass.   I walk in the heavenly field, With lilies and poppies bright, I am dressed in a heavenly coat Of polished white.   When I walk in the heavenly parkland My feet on the pasture are bare, Tall waves the grass, but no harmful Creature is there.   At night I fly over the housetops, And stand on the bright moony beams; Gold are all heaven’s rivers, And silver her streams.
