“There shall be no more death—neither sorrow—nor crying—neither shall there be any more pain, for the former things have passed away.”

Rev. xxi. 4.

There shall be no more death! I love to trace

The records of my last abiding place—

A mansion bought for me by dying love;

And—blissful thought!—I may not thence remove.

No waning strength, nor painful heaving breath,

Shall give me warning of thy coming, Death!

I shall not see thee fix thy baleful eye

On those I love, and feel that they must die;
