Lyrics

Going to Heaven, going to Heaven!
Going to Heaven! I don't know when
Pray do not ask me how—indeed I'm too astonished
To think of answering you
Going to Heaven, going to Heaven!
How dim it sounds!
And yet it will be done, as sure as flocks go home at night
Unto the shepherd's barn
Perhaps you're going too—who knows?
If you should get there first
Save just a little place for me
Close to the two I lost
The smallest robe will fit me
And just a bit of crown
For you know we do not mind our dress
When we are going home
Going to Heaven, going to Heaven!
I'm glad I don't believe it
For it would stop my breath
And I'd like to look a little more
At such a curious Earth
I am glad they did believe it
Whom I have never found
Since the mighty autumn afternoon
I left them in the ground
Written by: Aaron Copland, Emily Dickinson
