"In Memoriam"

________________________________________________
Title:     "In Memoriam"
Author: Henry Van Dyke [More Titles by Van Dyke]

The record of a faith sublime,
And hope, through clouds, far-off discerned;
The incense of a love that burned
Through pain and doubt defying Time:

The story of a soul at strife
That learned at last to kiss the rod,
And passed through sorrow up to God,
From living to a higher life:

A light that gleams across the wave
Of darkness, down the rolling years,
Piercing the heavy mist of tears--
A rainbow shining o'er a grave.

[The end]
Henry Van Dyke's poem: "In Memoriam"
