"If I Must Go"
by Sara Teasdale


If I must go to heaven's end
     Climbing the ages like a stair,
Be near me and forever bend
     With the same eyes above me there;
Time will fly past us like leaves flying,
     We shall not heed, for we shall be
Beyond living, beyond dying,
     Knowing and known unchangeably.
