Poem by Lucy Larcom “Ye Shall Live Also“ SAY not of thy friend departed, "He is dead:" — he is but grown Larger-souled and deeper-hearted, Blossoming into skies unknown. All the air of earth is sweeter For his being's full release; And thine own life is completer For his conquest and his peace. Roll the stone from sorrow's prison, White-robed angel, holy Faith, Till with Christ we have arisen, And believe the word He saith! Heaven is life to Life brought nearer: Love withdraws, more love to give: Hearts to hearts in Him are dearer: — "Lo! I live, and ye shall live!" Lucy Larcom Lucy Larcom's other poems: 1184 Views |
