Death is no terror, friend!
It’s a sublime sleep
That lulls the weary home
To rest-not to weep:
It is the solace of God-
A message for you
From those friends, gone before,
Those whose love is true.
The dream called death is not
The pain that you fear:
It’s an ecstasy
Beyond man’s compare;
‘Tis life’s joy-that’s called
The Eternal Fair.
(Marcus Mosiah Garvey)
