Looking for the name of the poem?

Question

Read this poem a long time ago, all I remember are:
It's about two lovers, one in heaven and the other on earth.
Each stanza reflects on each one. One pining for the other. Where the female is waiting at the gates of heaven. And the man on earth is waiting. Does any one know the exact name of the poem?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

THE BLESSED DAMOZEL

Dante Gabriel Rossetti


The blessed damozel leaned out
From the gold bar of heaven;
Her eyes were deeper than the depth
Of waters stilled at even;
She had three lilies in her hand,
And the stars in her hair were seven.

Her robe, ungirt from clasp to hem,
No wrought flowers did adorn,
But a white rose of Mary's gift,
For service meetly worn;
Her hair that lay along her back
Was yellow like ripe corn.

Herseemed she scarce had been a day
One of God's choristers;
The wonder was not yet quite gone
From that still look of hers;
Albeit, to them she left, her day
Had counted as ten years.

(To one, it is ten years of years.
… Yet now, and in this place,
Surely she leaned o'er me — her hair
Fell all about my face…
Nothing: the autumn-fall of leaves.
The whole year sets apace.)

It was the rampart of God's house
That she was standing on
By God built over the sheer depth
The which is Space begun;
So high, that looking downward thence
She scarce could see the sun.

It lies in Heaven, across the flood
Of ether, as a bridge.
Beneath, the tides of day and night
With flame and darkness ridge
The void, as low as where this earth
Spins like a fretful midge.

Around her, lovers, newly met
‘Mid deathless love’s acclaims,
Spoke evermore among themselves
Their heart-remembered names;
And the souls mounting up to God
Went by her like thin flames.

...hope this is the famous poem you were looking for...it's a good one :)

No I don't. Have you tried googling variations on the concept?
