Let no one weep for fear I should know And sorrow too that ye should sorrow so. When all is done, Say not my day is over And that through the night I seek a dimmer shore. Say rather that my morn has just begun I greet the dawn and not a setting sun When all is done. Paul Lawrence Dunbar Ylcli nowfedgemen t The family of the Rev. C.H.

But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam When that which drew from out the boundless _ Deep turns again home. Twilight and evening bell, and after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell, When I embark. For tho' from out our bourne of time and place, The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar. -Alfred Tennyson
