When all your bitter grief is gone,
With anger and rebellion done,
Think then, with your more even breath –
How lovely was the face of Death!
Say you remember her sweet face,
The light, the loveliness;
The smile that passed beyond this world,
To rest no more on us:
That, knowing now how Death is loved –
You follow her, and stand reproved.
