“Heaven And Hell” by Francis Thompson 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (16 Dec 185913 Nov 1907)
’Tis said there were no thought of hell,
Save hell were taught; that there should be
A Heaven for all’s self-credible.
Not so the thing appears to me.
’Tis Heaven that lies beyond our sights,
And hell too possible that proves;
For all can feel the God that smites,
But ah, how few the God that loves!
