| | | WE know not yet what life shall be, | |
| What shore beyond earth’s shore be set; | |
| What grief awaits us, or what glee, | |
| We know not yet. | |
| |
| Still somewhere in sweet converse met, | 5 |
| Old friends, we say, beyond death’s sea | |
| Shall meet and greet us, nor forget | |
| |
| Those days of yore, those years when we | |
| Were loved and true,—but will death let | |
| Our eyes the longed-for vision see? | 10 |
| We know not yet. | | | | |
