DEDICATED TO MRS. SUTHERLAND ORR GOOD, to forgive; Best, to forget! Living, we fret; Dying, we live. Fretless and free, Soul, clap thy pinion! Earth have dominion, Body, o'er thee! Wander at will, Day after day, -- Wander away, Wandering still -- Soul that canst soar! Body may slumber: Body shall cumber Soul-flight no more. Waft of soul's wing! What lies above? Sunshine and Love, Skyblue and Spring! Body hides -- where? Ferns of all feather, Mosses and heather, Yours be the care! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VARIATIONS: 10 by CONRAD AIKEN CONTRA MORTEM: THE GREAT DEATH by HAYDEN CARRUTH THE MOUNTAIN by HAYDEN CARRUTH LOVE BEING ALL ONE by ROBERT FROST MY DEATH AS A GIRL I KNEW by JAMES GALVIN ON BRODSKY'S COLLECTED by MICHAEL S.
