If I should
die and leave you here awhile.
Be not like others, sore
undone, who keep
A long
vigil by the silent dust and weep.
For my sake turn to life and
smile,
Nerving thy heart and
trembling hand to do
That which will comfort other
souls than thine;
Complete these dear
unfinished tasks of mine,
And I, perchance, may therein comfort
you.
