UNANSWERED
You who have left us and gone on
before,
What of the path that you trod
After our eyes could behold you
no more,
As you went up to meet God?
You who have earned for yourself
the repose
Only the ransomed attain,
What of the changes that no mor
tal knows ?
What of the freedom from pain?
You who have met with your loved
ones up there, —
Those whom on earth we still
miss—
What of reunion so happy, some
where ?
What of the rapture and bliss ?
You cannot speak unto ears that
are filled
With earth’s harsh clamor and
strife;
Yet, through our faith are our
hearts strangely thrilled;
Death is but part of your life.
