Explore "The Land Between" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Between the little Here and larger Yonder, / There is a realm (or so one day I read) / Where faithful spirits love-enchained may wander, / Till some remembering soul from earth has fled. / Then, reunited, they go forth afar, / From sphere to sphere, where wondrous angels are.
Not many spirits in that realm are waiting; / Not many pause upon its shores to rest; / For only love, intense and unabating, / Can hold them from the longer, higher quest. / And after grief has wept itself to sleep, / Few hearts on earth their vital memories keep.
