nor strive to solve Death's mystery, For she may hear you, though no voice replies. Go then ! and say, " He follows in our wake, Who bade us hasten here for his love's sake. " NOT DEA TH, BUT LIFE. 129 NOT DEATH, BUT LIFE. I AM not dead, beloved, would I were ! My spirit has not ceased to beat with thine ; Only my hope is dead ; and peace divine Lies dead upon Hope's tomb, while black Despair, Repeating ever an unanswered prayer, Gives me to drink his sacramental wine, And sacramental bread to ...eat, in sign That I am his till death, his robes to bear. I am not dead ! I have not died with thee. This is no sleep, perpetual as time. Dead lips are mute, and dead eyes cannot see Pale memories and half-dreamed dreams of bliss ; Dead feet have rest, but living feet must climb The steep, round which the eternal darkness is. 393 I30 LIFELESS UFE, LIFELESS LIFE. Since we, for the last time, "good-bye" have said, Since I may never hold thy hands again, And prayers are useless, and all tears are vain, What do I hear, when round thy soul are spread Silence and sleep, and on my spirit shed The bitter, uncompassionating pain, Till my heart yearns for rest, as earth for rain Wlien by the utter sun discomfited ?
