The Beatific Vision

Title:     The Beatific Vision
Author: G K Chesterton [More Titles by 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?

[The end]
G K Chesterton's poem: Beatific Vision
