BEYOND the bourn of mortal death and birth, Two lovers -- parted sorrowing on earth -- Met in the land of dim and ghostly space. Wondering, he gazed on her illumined face: "Alone you bear the burden now," he said, "Of bondage; mine is ended, -- I am dead." With rapturous note of victory, she cried, "The Lord of Life be praised! I, too, have died." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE LONESOME CHILD by KATHERINE MANSFIELD SONNET by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON A CHANNEL PASSAGE by RUPERT BROOKE ODE FOR THE BURIAL OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT EACH AND [OR, IN] ALL by RALPH WALDO EMERSON THE SONG OF FIONNUALA by THOMAS MOORE FIDELIS by ADELAIDE ANNE PROCTER MOLLY PITCHER [JUNE 28, 1778] by LAURA ELIZABETH HOWE RICHARDS |
