Explore "In Memoriam" by Henry van Dyke on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The record of a faith sublime, / And hope, through clouds, far-off discerned; / The incense of a love that burned / Through pain and doubt defying Time:
The story of a soul at strife / That learned at last to kiss the rod, / And passed through sorrow up to God, / From living to a higher life:
A light that gleams across the wave / Of darkness, down the rolling years, / Piercing the heavy mist of tears -- / A rainbow shining o'er a grave.
