Be by the ransomed spirit cast away?
Did Raphael there forget his great “Madonna,”
What time he woke to light in realms above?
Did Shakespeare ne’er recall his Hamlet’s honour?
His Requiem hath Mozart ceased to love?
It cannot be! Nay! all that’s good, that’s holy,
We’ll live again after this life’s good-bye;
And we shall not forget, but, without passion, lowly,
We’ll love again, merged in the Deity.
