The Blue-Flag In The Bog by Edna St. Vincent Millay
God had called us, and we came; Our loved Earth to ashes left; Heaven was a neighbor's house, Open to us, bereft.
Gay the lights of Heaven showed, And 'twas God who walked ahead; Yet I wept along the road, Wanting my own house instead.
Wept unseen, unheeded cried, "All you things my eyes have kissed, Fare you well! We meet no more, Lovely, lovely tattered mist!
Weary wings that rise and fall All day long above the fire!"-- Red with heat was every wall, Rough with heat was every wire--
"Fare you well, you little winds That the flying embers chase! Fare you well, you shuddering day, With your hands before your face!
And, ah, blackened by strange blight, Or to a false sun unfurled, Now forevermore goodbye, All the gardens in the world!
On the windless hills of Heaven, That I have no wish to see, White, eternal lilies stand, By a lake of ebony.
But the Earth forevermore Is a place where nothing grows,-- Dawn will come, and no bud break; Evening, and no blossom close.

"Though in Heaven," I said, "be all That the ear could think to lack, All the things I ever knew Are this roaring at my back."
It was God who walked ahead, Like a shepherd to the fold; In his footsteps fared the weak, And the weary and the old,
Glad enough of gladness over, Ready for the peace to be,-- But a thing God had forgotten Was the growing bones of me.
And I drew a bit apart, And I lagged a bit behind, And I thought on Peace Eternal, Lest He look into my mind:
And I gazed upon the sky, And I thought of Heavenly Rest,-- And I slipped away like water Through the fingers of the blest!
All their eyes were fixed on Glory, Not a glance brushed over me; "Alleluia! Alleluia!" Up the road,--and I was free. All their eyes were fixed on Glory, Not a glance brushed over me; "Alleluia ! Alleluia !" Up the road,–and I was free. And my heart rose like a freshet, And it swept me on before, Giddy as a whirling s
