Ours To Endure.
We speak of the world that passes away, - The world of men who lived years ago, And could not feel that their hearts' quick glow Would fade to such ashen lore to-day. We hear of death that is not our woe, And see the shadow of funerals creeping Over the sweet fresh roads by the reaping; But do we weep till our loved ones go? When one is lost who is greater than we, And loved us so well that death should reprieve Of all hearts this one to us; when we must leave His grave, - the past will break like the sea!
