Excerpt from A Psalm of Deaths and Other Poems There soul hath touch of soul, and there the great Cast Wide to welcome thee joy's golden gate. Free born to thoughts that ever age on age Caressed sweet singers in their sacred sleep, Thy soul shall enter on its heritage Of God's unuttered wisdom. Thou shalt sweep With hand assured the ringing lyre of life, Till the fierce anguish of its bitter strife, Its pain, death, discord, sorrow, and despair, Break into rhythmic music.
