Poems of FriendshipMors et Vita
Samuel Waddington (18441923)W
What shore beyond earth’s shore be set;
What grief awaits us, or what glee,
We know not yet.
Old friends, we say, beyond death’s sea
Shall meet and greet us, nor forget
Were loved and true,—but will death let
Our eyes the longed-for vision see?
We know not yet.
