WHY GRIEVE?
Whyweep we when a spirit flies away,Why can we not cease crying,—For life is but the soul’s full form,And death is but the dying?The pallid face and closed eyeProve not the end of man’s career,But only mark the spirit’s lifeUplifted to a higher sphere.

Prove not the end of man’s career,
But only mark the spirit’s life
Uplifted to a higher sphere.
