Poem

Why -- do they shut me out of Heaven?

Did I sing -- too loud?

But -- I can sing a little minor,

Timid as a bird.

Wouldn't the angels try me --

just -- once -- more --

Just -- see -- if I troubled them --

But don't -- shut the door!

Oh if I -- were the Gentlemen

in the White Robe

and they -- were the little Hand -- that knocked --

Could -- I -- forbid?

Why do they shut me out of Heaven?

Did I sing too loud?
