Dead art thou? No more dead than was the maid <br />Over whose couch the saving God did stand- <br />'She is not dead but sleepeth,' said, <br />And took her by the hand! <br /> <br />Thee knowledge never from Life's pathway wiled, <br />But following still where life's great father led, <br />He turned, and taking up his child, <br />Raised thee too from the dead, <br /> <br />O living, thou hast passed thy second birth, <br />Found all things new, and some things lovely strange; <br />But thou wilt not forget the earth, <br />Or in thy loving change!<br /><br />George MacDonald<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/george-rolleston/
