There Is no death ! the stars go down To rise upon some other shore, And bright in heaven's jeweled crown, They shine forever more. There is no death ! the forest leaves, Convert to life the viewless air; The rocks disorganize to feed The hungry moss they bear. There is no death ! the dust we tread Shall change beneath the summer showers, To golden.gra'n, or mellow fruit, Or rainbow tinted flowers. There is no death ! the leaves may fall, The flowers may fade and pass away They only wait, through wintry hours, The warm, sweet breath of May. There is no death ! the choicest gifts That heaven hath kindly lent to earth Are even first to seok again The country of their birth. And all things that for growth or joy Are worthy ot our love or care, Whose loss has left us desolate Are safely garnered there. Though, life become a dreary waste, We know its fairest, sweetest flowers, Transplanted into praise. Adorn immortal bowers. The voice of birtk-like melody That we have missed and mourned so long, Now mingles with the angel choir In everlasting song. There'is no death ! Although we grieve, When beautiful, familiar forms, That we have learned to love are torn From our embracing arms. Although with bowed and breaking heart, " . With sable dark and silent tread, We bear their senseless dust to dust And say that they are "dead." They are not dead ! they have but passed Beyond the mists that blind us here Into the new and larger lite Of that serener sphere. They have but dropped their robe of clay, To put their shining raiment on; They have not wandered far away They are not "lost" or "gone." Though disenthralled and glorified, They still are here and love us yet; The dear ones they have left behind They never can forget. And sometimes when our hearts grow faint, Amid temptations fierce and deep, Or when the wildly raging waves Of grief or passion sweep. We feel upon our fevered brow Their gentle touch their breath of balm; Their arms enfold us, and our hearts " Grow comforted and calm. And ever near us, though unseen, The dear, immortal spints tread; For all the boundless universe Is life there are no dead. J. Ii. McCueauy. El. Notk This beautifully touching poem Is the creation of Mr. J. L. McCreury, a native of Iowa, and at one time editor of the Delaware County Journ al, of that state. The poem was written in 1803, and was first published In Arthurs Home Maga.lne in July of that year. The authorship of the poem was for many years erroneously attributed to Lord Lyt ton, the English poet. A thorough investigation carried on by Lipplncotts a few years ago fully es tablished the authorship. The poem has been print ed in every state of the Union, in England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Canada, and even in Australia, it has gone into do.eus of school books and been in corporated in scores of miscellaneous collections of poetry. It has been quoted in full or in part, at least five times on the doors of Congress. From "Poems You Aught To Know. "Copyright, Tribune Company, Chicago, Ills.
