AD ASTRA: 163 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: WHAT MAN WOULD FLINCH OR FIND IT HARD TO DIE
Last Line: THAT ALL WE CHERISH BLOOMS BEYOND THE GRAVE?
Subject(s): DEATH; GRAVES; DEAD, THE; TOMBS; TOMBSTONES;
What man would flinch or find it hard to die
If Christ should meet him in the way to-morrow,
And tell him of the Shadow drawing nigh?
Dost think that he would look on Death with sorrow?
Nay, rather, would he not new comfort borrow
To @3know@1 that Christ doth live, hath power to save,
That all we cherish blooms beyond the grave?
