James Mclain Poet Lyric

How Will I Know That It's You

How will I know it is You —
When Loss has closed the Door —
And Heaven hides its syllables
Behind a breathless Floor —

Will Silence bear your Accent —
Or Light — your tender Face —
Will Death release a Signal —
From God’s unbounded Place —

Perhaps a hush of Clover —
Or wings upon the Air —
Perhaps the Soul’s own Shudder —
That You — are truly There —

And if I fail to know You —
When all the Stars are through —
God will not mind my Asking —
How will I know — it’s You?
