AD ASTRA: 152 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: AND STILL ANOTHER, 'ONLY MINDS DISEASED
Last Line: OR THE BRIGHT SOUL, ITS FAIR AND HEAVENLY GUEST?
Subject(s): DEATH; HEAVEN; DEAD, THE; PARADISE;

And still another, 'Only minds diseased
The morbid craving after God reveal;
For once the Daimon of Death hath been appeased,
No longer at the Shrine of Faith we kneel.'
O faint of heart! to whom wouldst thou appeal?
The truant body, rebel of unrest?
Or the bright soul, its fair and heavenly guest?
