Here you will find the Poem A Dream Of Heaven of poet Alice Guerin Crist
They tell of harps and golden crowns, and singing, But oh, I think, when ends the strife and pain, That our dear Lord will lead the souls that love Him Where are green grass and trees, and soft spring rain; Where are no scorching suns, or skies drought-blazing, But dear grey clouds with sunshine stealing through In level rays, o?er distant wooded valleys, And still green pools, with waterlilies blue. And those who sought to save drought-ridden creatures, And struggled bravely with the grim old earth, The God of all true hearts will surely give them Rest from their labours in a new world?s birth: When they shall feel the fresh wind in their faces, Fragrant with clover scents and summer shower, And they shall praise Him in green silent places, Who, like St. Francis, loved each tree and flower; Who sae their God in all the changing seasons, And never failed, or flinched, or Faith denied, For evermore their loving Lord shall lead them Where are green woods, and rolling pastures wide.
