(Written in memoriam to J. J. Goodwin, August,1898.) <br /> <br />Speed forth, O Soul! upon thy star-strewn path; <br />Speed, blissful one! where thought is ever free, <br />Where time and space no longer mist the view, <br />Eternal peace and blessings be with thee! <br /> <br />Thy service true, complete thy sacrifice, <br />Thy home the heart of love transcendent find; <br />Remembrance sweet, that kills all space and time, <br />Like altar roses fill thy place behind! <br /> <br />Thy bonds are broke, thy quest in bliss is found, <br />And one with That which comes as Death and Life; <br />Thou helpful one! unselfish e'er on earth, <br />Ahead! still help with love this world of strife!<br /><br />Swami Vivekananda<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/requiescat-in-pace-4/
