Poem

There Is No Death

Our dear ones are not dead; there is no death;
Death means extinction; life cannot be quenched.
The Ever-Living One inbreathed His breath,
So man in life eternal is entrenched.

When best-beloved ones close their tired eyes
Upon the lovely scenes of this fair earth,
On quest they go for Heaven’s highest prize,
For larger spheres and joys of greatest worth.

Our precious loved and lost awhile, dear friend,
Are living in the shining Morning Land;
And thither do our weary footsteps tend—
We soon beside our dear ones there shall stand.

So we must never grieve, nor doubt and grope,
But ever Him believe who is our Hope.

Louis D. Eichhorn
The Moon­seed’s Min­is­try and
Other Son­nets and Songs
, 1924
