I dreamt death came the other night
And heaven's gate swung wide;
With kindly grace an angel came
To usher me inside.
Yet there to my astonishment
Stood folks I'd known on earth,
Some I'd judged as quite unfit
Or of but little worth.
Indignant words rose to my lips
But never were set free;
For every face showed stunned surprise -
No one expected me!
