WHY SHOULD WE WEEP FOR
THOSE WHO DIE:"

Why should we weep for those who die?
They fall, their dust returns to dust;
Their souls shall live eternally
Within the mansions of the Just.
They die to live, they sink to rise,
They leave this wretched mortal
shore;
But brighter suns and bluer skies
Shall smile on them for evermore.
Why should we sorrow for the dead?
Our life on earth is but a span;
They tread the path that all must tread.
They die the common death of man.
The MODEST Songster of the dale
Must cease when winters frowns
appear;
The reddest rose is wan and pale
When autumn tints the changing
year.
The fairest flower on earth must fade,
The brightest hopes on earth must
die;
Why should we mourn that man was
made
To droop on earth, but dwell on high?
The soul, tn eternal soul, must reign
In worlds devoid of pain and strife;
Then why should mortal man complain
OF death, which leads to happier life?
Alfred Tennyson.
