When All Is Done

When all is done, and my last word is said, And ye who loved me, murmur, "H e is dead". Let no one weep, for fear that I should know, And sorrow, too, that ye should sorrow so.

When all is done, say not my day is o 'er, And that thro' 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
