AD ASTRA: 40 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: JUDGE FROM THY HEART, HOW MUCH I LONG FOR THEE!
Last Line: PILLOW'D UPON THE SURGE OF THY SOFT BREAST.
Subject(s): DEATH; LOVE - LOSS OF; DEAD, THE;

'Judge from @3thy@1 heart, how much I long for thee!
Here hate breeds strife and wrong, and wrong—despair.
The World, more pitiless than Death can be,
Breaks on the rack all those who greatly dare,
Who fearlessly have striven to keep life fair.
Fain would my spirit fold tired wings and rest,
Pillow'd upon the surge of thy soft breast.
