What death doth take for wife is
What Death doth take for wife is
What life has of good and of fair;
The pain of passing's knife is
Not the less that it is everywhere;
All goes, all flows, all life is
But the wreck of its own self for e'er.
Yet hope we that this going
A semblance and lie can but be;
That the river that is flowing
Will find, how far be it, a sea;
That beyond our frail knowing
A deeper life eternally
Keeps all that seems to wither
All that seems to go wits to-day,
And that in a way to bother [?]
Our subtlest thoughts to dismay
Form and matter together
Live e'er in a timeless Alway.
