BEYOND the bourn of mortal death and birth, Two lovers -- parted sorrowing on earth -- Met in the land of dim and ghostly space. Wondering, he gazed on her illumined face: "Alone you bear the burden now," he said, "Of bondage; mine is ended, -- I am dead." With rapturous note of victory, she cried, "The Lord of Life be praised! I, too, have died." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VLAMERTINGHE: PASSING THE CHATEAU, JULY 1917 by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN CHRISTUS CONSOLATOR by ROSSITER WORTHINGTON RAYMOND PEARLS OF THE FAITH: 64.
