AD ASTRA: 2 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: ALL THINGS MUST DIE, ALL THINGS MUST HAVE AN END
Last Line: AND LOVE WILL GUIDE US THRO' DEATH'S DARK DEFILE.
Subject(s): DEATH; HEAVEN; LOVE; DEAD, THE; PARADISE;

All things must die, all things must have an end
That tell of a beginning and a birth,
All things must die, and soon or late must lend
Their little meed of dust to swell the earth,
But Love came with us in our baby mirth,
Love grew beside us, taught us how to smile,
And Love will guide us thro' Death's dark defile.
