| Going to heaven!
|
| Going to heaven!
|
| Going to heaven!
|
| I don’t know when
|
| Pray do not ask me how,--
|
| Indeed, I’m too astonished
|
| To think of answering you!
|
| Going to heaven!--
|
| Going to heaven!
|
| How dim it sounds!
|
| And yet it will be done
|
| As sure as flocks go home at night
|
| Unto the shepherd’s arm!
|
| Perhaps you’re going too!
|
| Who knows?
|
| If you should get there first
|
| Save just a little place for me
|
| Close to the two I lost!
|
| The smallest «robe» will fit me
|
| And just a bit of «crown»;
|
| For you know we do not mind our dress
|
| When we are going home
|
| Going to heaven!
|
| Going to heaven!
|
| I’m glad I don’t believe it
|
| For it would stop my breath
|
| And I’d like to look a little more
|
| At such a curious earth!
|
| I am glad they did believe it
|
| Whom I have never found
|
| Since the mighty autumn afternoon
|
| I left them in the ground |
