Weep not for me When thro' the portals of this life I pass, For I shall see With mine own eyes, as thro' translucent glass, Death's mystery. Weep not for me. But rather let thy tears in anguish fall: Go cleanse from thee, All bitter slower doubts, that cloudeth like a pall Thy charity. Weep not for me; God gave His Son our lives to save, So let it be, There is no death, beyond the earth ly grave, Weep not for me
