Explore "The Hereafter" by James Whitcomb Riley on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Hereafter! O we need not waste / Our smiles or tears, whatever befall: / No happiness but holds a taste / Of something sweeter, after all; -- / No depth of agony but feels / Some fragment of abiding trust, -- / Whatever death unlocks or seals, / The mute beyond is just.
