DEATH.

I close my eyes and see the inward things:
  The strange averted spectre of my soul
  Is sitting undivulged, angelic, whole,
Beside the dim internal flood that brings
Mysterious thought or dreams or murmurings,
  From the immense Unknown: beneath him roll
  The urging formless waves beyond control
And darkened by the vague foreshadowings
  As heretofore; yea, for He hath not stirred.
  Too weak was that my life, too poor each word
To lure my soul from all it waiteth for:
  —I am with God who holds His purpose still
And maketh and remaketh evermore;
  I am with God and waiting for His will.
