First Line: I would not have you back on earth
Last Line: The words you cannot say.
Subject(s): Comfort
I would not have you back on earth,
Your body racked with pain --
I know that longing for your mirth --
Your comradeship, is vain.
And yet, when I sit wondering,
As night is merged with day,
It seems your spirit comes to bring
The words you cannot say.
