Page:A channel passage and other poems (IA channelpassageot00swinrich).pdf/163

 If death and life and love be one And hope no lie And night no stronger than the sun, These cannot die.

The father-spirit whence her soul Took strength, and gave Back love, is perfect yet and whole, As hope might crave.

His word is living light and fire: And hers shall live By grace of all good gifts the sire Gave power to give.

The sire and daughter, twain and one In quest and goal, Stand face to face beyond the sun, And soul to soul.
