CURRENT VERSE

-Death Has No Part in Him.Ditto each mat} Ids handiwork, onto and fate crown The Just fate gives; Whoso takes the world’s Hfe on him and his own lays down, ' He, dying so, lives. Whoso bears the whole heaviness of thd ■ wronged world’s Weight ,r * And puts it to, , It Is well with his suffering, though ha face man’s fate; - J How should he dty? Seeing death has no part In him any more, no power Upon his head; - He has brought hla eternity with a little hour, ... ; And la not dead. For an hour, if ye look for him, he la no more found— For one hour’s space; Then ye lift up your eyes to him and bohold him crowned, A deathless face. On the mountains of memory, by the world’s well springs, In all men’s eyes, Where the light of the Hfe of him Is on all past things. Death only dies. —A. C. Swinburne.
