901 <br /> <br />Sweet, to have had them lost <br />For news that they be saved— <br />The nearer they departed Us <br />The nearer they, restored, <br /> <br />Shall stand to Our Right Hand— <br />Most precious and the Dead— <br />Next precious <br />Those that rose to go— <br />Then thought of Us, and stayed.<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sweet-to-have-had-them-lost/
