Poems (Smith)/Life and Death

by Martha A. Smith

LIFE AND DEATH.

---

My weary life is almost o'er,—
 Yon bright Heaven stands in view:
No more pain, and no more sorrow,—
 Loved friends on earth I bid adieu.

Welcome death, and all beyond it:
 From this earth I long to flee.
What is life? A living sorrow!
 What is death? I trust in Thee.
