Death is nothing at all
I have slipped away into the next room
I am I, and you are you

Whatever we were to each other
That, we still  are

Call me by my old familiar name
Speak to me in the easy way

Which you always used
Put no difference in your tone

Wear no  forced air of solemnity or sorrow
Laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes we enjoyed together

Pray,smile,think of me,pray for me
Let my name be ever the household word
that it always was

Let it be spoken without effort
Without the trace of a shadow in it

Life means all that it ever meant
It is the same as it ever was

There is unbroken continuity
Why should I be out of mind
because I am out of sight ?

I am waiting for you
Somewhere very near
Just around the corner
All is well
by Henry Scott Holland
(1847-1918)Canon of St Paul's Cathedral
