RESURGAM

By Helen Hunt Jackson

THE fool asks, “With what flesh? in joy or pain? Helped or unhelped? and lonely, or again Surrounded by our earthly friends?”
I know not; and I glory that I do Not know; that for eternity’s great ends God counted me as worthy of such trust That I need not be told.
Out to the earthward brink Of that great tideless sea, Light from Christ’s garments streams.
Believing thus, I joy, altho I lie in dust. I joy, not that I ask or choose, But simply that I must.
I love, and fear not; and I can not lose, One instant, this great certainty of peace. Long as God ceases not, I can not cease; I must arise.
—Helen Hunt Jackson.
