“Because that you are going And never coming back And I, however absolute, May overlook your Track -
Because that Death is final, However first it be,
This instant be suspended Above Mortality -
Significance that each has lived The other to detect Discovery not God himself Could now annihilate
Eternity, Presumption The instant I perceive That you, who were Existence Yourself forgot to live -
The “Life that is” will then have been A thing I never knewAs Paradise fictitious Until the Realm of you-
The “Life that is to be,” to me,
A Residence too plain Unless m my Redeemer’s Face I recognize your own -
Of Immortality who doubts He may exchange with me Curtailed by your obscuring Face Of everything but He -
Of Heaven and Hell I also yield The Right to reprehend To whoso would commute this Face For his less priceless Friend.
If “God is Love” as he admits We think that he must be Because he is a “jealous God”
He tells us certainly
If “All is possible widi” him As he besides concedes He will refund us finally Our confiscated Gods -”

“MY DEAR FRIEND,— What portfolios full of verses you must have! It is a cruel wrong to your "day and generation" that you will not give them light.
If such a thing should happen as that I should outlive you, I wish you would make me your literary legatee and executor. Surely after you are what is called "dead" you will be willing that the poor ghosts you have left behind should be cheered and pleased by your verses, will you not? You ought to be. I do not think we have a right to withhold from the world a word or a thought any more than a deed which might help a single soul. . . .”
