There is no death, what we call death Is but a sudden change; Because we know not where it leads, Therefore it seemeth strange. There is no death, what we call death Is but a restful sleep; They wake not soon who slumber so, Therefore we mourn, we weep. There is no death, what we call death Is but surcease from strife; They do not die whom we call dead, They go from life - to life. |
