JANE went to Paradise:
?That was only fair.
Good Sir Walter followed her.
?And armed her up the stair.
Henry and Tobias.
?And Miguel of Spain.
Stood with Shakespeare at the top
?To welcome Jane.
Then the Three Archangels
?Offered out of hand
Anything in Heaven’s gift
?That she might command.
Azrael’s eyes upon her.
?Raphael’s wings above.
Michael’s sword against her heart.
?Jane said: ‘Love.’
Instantly the under —
?standing Seraphim
Laid their fingers on their lips
?And went to look for him.
