First Line: Death is conquered
Last Line: To the sea of life!
Subject(s): Death; Dead, The
Death is conquered
When the running dawn
Has secret blood-pulse
And surge of doing.
Death is conquered

In a twinkling smile,
In each happy glow;
But how much more
In the stir of love --
Each friend a river
To the sea of life!
