WHEN THE SOBBING IS OVER.
When the sobbing is over, and Death Comes kissing and stealing thy bieath, And the angel unlooseth the strings Of the brain, and its window, the eyes (Whore the soul, the great secret, hath lain), Thou shalt wonder with gladsomo surprise. The secret of azuline gems, The wonder of world upon world, The secret of life and of joy, The wonder ot star upon star, Where the beautitul shall be, and arc. When Death cleaveth a pathway for Life Where the beautified shall be, and are. When the sobbing is over, and Death Sets the seal ol God on thy breath And thy soul (the great secret) is freo From the trouble and sorrow and sin, Thou shalt know all these beautiful things, In the shout that shall welcome thoe in ! The secret of bliss upon bliss— The " why " and the " therefore" of death, The secret of nzuline gems, The glory of: meteor and star, Where the beautiful shall be, and are ! Thou shalt know all the glories of liie Where the beautilied shall be, and arc ! W. R. Wills.
