BUT NEVER LIFE -, by                    
First Line: There shall be many mornings after
Last Line: Ceaseless . . . .
Subject(s): Future Life; Retribution; Eternity; After Life


There shall be many mornings after,
When I shall waken
To hear the sounds of early dawn --
The first faint blue breaking the sky,
The breathless hush of buds opening;
There shall be many nights
When sounds of dry stillness
Will beat upon my senses
Until they, too, beat the same dry rhythm;
And there shall be days --
Days and days -- each an eternity
Echoing the vast completeness of my loss.

There shall be mornings, days, and nights
After you have gone --
Mornings . . . days . . . nights . . . .
Ceaseless . . . .
