"GOOD, TO FORGIVE"
Reading edition
Good, to forgive; Best, to forget! Living, we fret; Dying, we live. Fretless and free,5 Soul, clap thy pinion! Earth have dominion, Body, o'er thee! Wander at will, Day after day—10 Wander away, Wandering still— Soul that canst soar! Body may slumber: Body shall cumber15 Soul-flight no more. Waft of soul's wing! What lies above? Sunshine and Love, Skyblue and Spring!20 Body hides—where? Ferns of all feather, Mosses and heather. Yours be the care!
