***
all is done, and my last word is said, Andye who loved me murmur, "He is dead, " Let no one weepforfear that I should know, And sorrow too that ye should sorrow so. When all is done and in the oozing clay, Ye lay this cast-offhull ofmine away, Pray notfor me, for, after long despair, The quiet ofthe grave will be a prayer. When all is done, say not my day is oer, And that thro night 1 seek a dimmer shore: Say rather that my morn hasjust begun, I greet the dawn and not a setting sun, When all is done.
PAUL LAWRENCE DUNBAR
