NOT DEAD

YOU are not dead, your voice speaks to me ever
And bids me know you living and still near
Death is not death that has no power to sever
One strand of the love that holds you ever dear.

You are not dead, I joy in your freed spirit!
I fear no longer death or solitude;
The immortality you do inherit
You share with me in all its plenitude.
