Heaven and Hell

’Tis said there were no thought of hell,
   Save hell were taught; that there should be
A Heaven for all’s self-credible.
   Not so the thing appears to me.
’Tis Heaven that lies beyond our sights,
   And hell too possible that proves;
For all can feel the God that smites,
   But ah, how few the God that loves!
