"From Facts Of Faith"
Death is nothing at all
I have only slipped away into the next room.
I am I and you are you:
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by my old familiar names
Speak to me in the easy way you always used.
Put no difference in your tone:
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed
At the little jokes we enjoyed together
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be spoken without an effort,
Without the shadow of ghost on it.
Life means all that it ever meant
There is absolute unbroken continuity
I am waiting for you, for an interval
Somewhere very near, just around the corner,
All is well...
