472 <br /> <br />Except the Heaven had come so near— <br />So seemed to choose My Door— <br />The Distance would not haunt me so— <br />I had not hoped—before— <br /> <br />But just to hear the Grace depart— <br />I never thought to see— <br />Afflicts me with a Double loss— <br />'Tis lost—and lost to me—<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/except-the-heaven-had-come-so-near/
