A Steeple on the House

Steeple Bush (1947)

What if it should turn out eternityWas but a steeple on our house of lifeThat made our house of life a house of worship?We do not go up there to sleep at night,We do not go up there to live by day.Nor do we ever go up there to live.A spire and a belfry coming on the roofMeans that a soul is coming on the flesh.
