Knowledge

Let weaker souls at His decree repine!
To us eternity in time was given.
Whene'er we parted, 'twas your death and mine.
Whene'er we met again, why then 'twas
Heaven.

Now let the tempest rise, the fierce wind blow,
And shake the house of life from floor to rafter!
Whichever goes, whichever stays, we know
Both death and what comes after.
