Deathless

There lies in the centre of each man's heart
A longing and love for the good and pure;
And if but an atom, or larger part,
I tell you this shall endure---endure---
After the body has gone to decay---
Yea, after the world has passed away.

The longer I live and the more I see
Of the struggle of souls toward the heights above,
The stronger this truth comes home to me:
That the Universe rests on the shoulders of love;
A love so limitless, deep, and broad,
That men have renamed it and called it---God.

And nothing that ever was born or evolved,
Nothing created by light or force,
But deep in its system there lies dissolved
A shining drop from the Great Love Source;
A shining drop that shall live for aye---
Though kingdoms may perish and stars decay.

DEATHLESS By Ella Wheeler Wilcox There lies in the centre of each man's heart A longing and love for the good and pure; And if but an atom, or larger part, I tell you this shall endure---endure--- After the body has gone to decay--- Yea, after the world has passed away. The longer I live and the more I see Of the struggle of souls toward the heights above, The stronger this truth comes home to me: That the Universe rests on the shoulders of love; A love so limitless, deep, and broad, That men have renamed it and called it---God. And nothing that ever was born or evolved, Nothing created by light or force, But deep in its system there lies dissolved A shining drop from the Great Love Source; A shining drop that shall live for aye--- Though kingdoms may perish and stars decay.
