Take your Heaven further on
1Take your Heaven further on —
2This — to Heaven divine Has gone —
3Had You earlier blundered in
4Possibly, e'en You had seen
5An Eternity — put on —
6Now — to ring a Door beyond
7Is the utmost of Your Hand —
8To the Skies — apologize —
9Nearer to Your Courtesies
10Than this Sufferer polite —
11Dressed to meet You —
12See — in White!
