CALL ME NOT DEAD
Call me not dead when I, indeed, have gone Into the company of the ever-living High and most _glor; _ous poets1 Let thanksgiving Rather be made. Say : "He at last hath won Rest and releas-e, conYE;rse supreme and wise, Music and song and light of immortal facesr Today, perhaps, wandming in starry places, He hath met . Ke~ts, and known him by his eyes. Tomorrow (who ean oarl) 0hakespeare may pass, And our lost friend just catch one syllable Of that three-cGntu:ied wit that kept so well; Or l1ilton; or DantE, lool'ing on the grass Thinking of Beatri~e, and listening still To chanted hymns tr at sov.nd from the heavenly hill. n
