Unanswered
We closed her eyes, that were the door
By which the light had fond access
To her sweet soul. Forevermore
The fair soul-house was tenantless.
We closed her eyes — but in the night
That saw her fuller life begin,
The watchers knew the clearest light,
Just dawned, was that her eyes shut in.
Oh, strangely radiant gates of Death!
Could we look past you, through her eyes,
Should we, too, lay aside our breath
With such eternal glad surprise?
By which the light had fond access
To her sweet soul. Forevermore
The fair soul-house was tenantless.
We closed her eyes — but in the night
That saw her fuller life begin,
The watchers knew the clearest light,

Oh, strangely radiant gates of Death!
Could we look past you, through her eyes,
Should we, too, lay aside our breath
With such eternal glad surprise?
