Perhaps if Death is kind, and there can be returning, <br />We will come back to earth some fragrant night, <br />And take these lanes to find the sea, and bending <br />Breathe the same honeysuckle, low and white. <br /> <br />We will come down at night to these resounding beaches <br />And the long gentle thunder of the sea, <br />Here for a single hour in the wide starlight <br />We shall be happy, for the dead are free. <br /> <br /> <br />Submitted by Venus<br /><br />Sara Teasdale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-death-is-kind-2/
