LIFE AFTER TOMB

Light after darkness, gain after loss

Strength after weakness, crown after cross

Sweet after bitter, hope after fears

Home after wandering, praise after tears.

Success after failure, progress and movement

Towards an everlasting fulfilment.

From whence disgust amasses now cometh delight.

And after protracted darkness to see the light.

Ripping after sowing, sun after rain

Sight after mystery, pleasure after pain

Joy after sorrow, calm after blast

Rest after weariness; sweet rest at last.

Near after distant, gleam after gloom

Love after loneliness, life after tomb

After long agony, rapture of bliss

Right was the pathway leading to this.
