The people that once dwelt upon this world?”
And slow he made reply: “But yesterday
Did Love remove his court from this drear globe,
Which was as fair a world as ever came
From the Creator’s hand, and now, so soon,
That Love is flown has come this awful change—
The cheerlessness, the people dead and gone.”
He turned from me, it seemed, and I awoke—
Back in a world that is controlled by Love.
