'There is no death there are no dead '-
From zone to zone from sphere to sphereB
The souls of all who pass from hereC
By hosts of living thoughts are ledD
And dark or bright those souls must treadD
The paths they fashioned year on yearB
For hells are built of hate or fearB
And heavens of love our lives have shedD
-
Across unatlassed worlds of spaceE
And through God's mighty universeF
With thoughts that bless or thoughts that curseF
Each journeys to his rightful placeE
Oh greater truth no man has saidD
'There is no death there are no dead '-
-
It lifts the mourner from the sodG
And bids him cast away the reedH
Of some uncomforting poor creedH
And walk with Knowledge for a rodG
It bids the doubter seek the broadI
Vast fields where living facts will feedH
All those whose patience proves their needH
Of these immortal truths of GodG
-
It brings before the eyes of faithJ
Those realms of radiance tier on tierC
Where our beloved 'dead' appearB
More beautiful because of 'death '-
It speaks to grief 'Be comfortedK
There is no death there are no dead '-
