DEAD!
While a strong true heart with its pulse unstirred
Lies hushed in the silence yonder?

    Lord! Lord! How long
Ere we rise to Thy heights supernal
  Ere the soul may read what Thy spirit saith;
  "Life that must fade, is not life but death.
Lift up thine eyes O soul! Be strong;
For Death is the Life Eternal!"
