First Line: Ne'er was the sky so deep a hue
Last Line: Tis the inn by the road on our way to god.
Subject(s): Immortality
Ne'er was the sky so deep a hue
But that the sun came breaking through;
There never was a night so dark
But wakened to the singing lark;
Nor was there ever a lane so long
It had no turn for the weary throng;
Nor heart so sad that sometime after
There came no sound of lilting laughter:
And Death's not the end—'neath the cold black sod—
'Tis the Inn by the Road on our way to God.
