In Memoriam
S. L. W .
A SENSE of life effacing death;
A sense of spreading wings;
Of larger gaze and fuller breath,
At thought of her upsprings!
The enthusiastic heart — the glow
Of warm and willing love —
What bright expansion must it know
In the new ways above!
The soul that owned all music's thrill,
The rapture or the pain,
What marvelous delight must fill
As flows the angelic strain!
The quick bright mind, that knew to prize
Truth's freshest, freest word, —
What mystic wisdom of the skies
Its unsealed ears have heard!
O Life, O Love, O Beauty's thrill,
O Truth that maketh free,
Our souls with clearer faith ye fill
In Immortality!
