| ENTERED INTO LIFE.
| Not dead, but entered into life, it ran,
| The message sent me from across the sea,
And with these words my stricken heart be-
gan
To tell the solace they were meant to be-
No time allowed for heartbreak or for moan
| How could 1 grieve that he had gone
away;
! The life loved more dearly than my own,
Had only journeyed to eternal day.
! Could [ be selfish if l truly loved?
Love seeketh not her own, we feel and
know;
| In that atfiction was l tried and proved
| That might find if | were worthy so.
| L
! The joy of victory, the conflict past,
| No longer daily dying, racked with pain,
| But safe and happy, free and strong at
last.
The body sown in weakness, raised in
power,
| The mortal clothed in immortality
| Sure, if loved him, this would be the hour
| When l, forgetting self. would thankful be.
o blessed words with hope and comfort rife,
,,,1x, fool how
Our loved ones have but entered into life,
| And more abundantly than we can dream.
