“ Thou didst not visit earth in vain; And from us, yet, thou art not riven. Life seems more sweet that thou didst live, And men more true that thou wert one: Nothing is lost that thou didst give, Nothing destroyed that thou hast done. Earth hath received thine earthly part; Thine heavenly flame has heavenward flown; But both still linger in my heart, Still live, and not in mine alone. This work was published before January 1, 1928, and is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago. ”
