LifeJohn Hall WheelockLife burns us up like fire, And Song goes up in flame: The radiant body smoulders To the ashes whence it came.Out of things it rises With a mouth that laughs and sings, Backward it fades and falters Into the char of things.Yet soars a voice above it — Love is holy and strong; The best of us forever Escapes in Love and Song.
