Ann Eliza Bleecker,
A thought on death — from The Posthumous Works of Ann Eliza Bleecker
“ Death is the conqueror of clay, And can but clay detain; The soul, superior, springs away, And scorns his servile chain. The just arise, and shrink no more At graves, and shrouds, and worms, Conscious they shall (when time is o'er) Inhabit angel forms. This work was published before January 1, 1928, and is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago. ”
