No Tears, No Death

Those words, “no tears,” will look so blessed To eyes grown dim from weeping; Those words, “no death,” will come so glad To bodies graveward creeping; “No sorrow” makes a thrill in hearts Long dead to other thrilling; “No crying” sounds so sweet to ears Earth’s moans have long been filling.

“No night there” seems so bright to those Whose sun sank back at dawning; “No sea” sounds calm to those who sail Long tempest-tossed and mourning; “No pain” drops blessed on aching hearts, Which fare their deepest dreading; “That rest” falls sweet on weary feet Unchosen pathways treading.
