There is no death The stars go down
IL rise upon some other shore
And bright Ia heavens ieweied crown
They shine forevernore.
There is no death The dust we trea1

For golden grain. or mellow fruit
Or rainbow tinted flowers.
There is no death The leaves may fall
The flowers may fade and pass away =
iney only wait through wintry hours
The warm sweet breath Of MAY.

The country Of their birth .
There is no death They have bu, passed
Beyond the mists that bind us here
Into the new and larger life l.
OF that serener sphere.
They have but dropped their robe OF clay
TO put their shining miment on: a
They have not wandered far AMY +,
