\nIs this the end<\/p>\n

<\/font>

\nI<\/font><\/b>s
\nthis the end of all that we have been,<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

And all we
\ndid or dreamed, –<\/p>\n

A
\nname unremembered and a form undone,<\/span> –<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Is
\nthis the end?<\/p>\n

A body rotting under a slab of stone<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Or
\nturned to ash in fire,
\nA mind dissolved, lost its forgotten thoughts,<\/span> –<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Is
\nthis the end?<\/p>\n

Our little hours that were and are no more,<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Our
\npassions once so high
\nBeing mocked by the still earth and calm sunshine,<\/span> –<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Is
\nthis the end?<\/p>\n

Our yearnings for the human Godward climb<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Passing
\nto other hearts
\nDeceived, while smiles towards death and hell the world,<\/span> –<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Is
\nthis the end?<\/p>\n

Fallen is the harp; shattered it lies and mute;<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Is
\nthe unseen player dead?
\nBecause the tree is felled where the bird sang,<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Must
\nthe song too hush?<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

One
\nin the mind who planned and willed and thought,<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Worked
\nto reshape earth\u2019s fate,<\/p>\n

One
\nin the heart who loved and yearned and hoped,<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Does
\nhe too end?<\/p>\n

The Immortal in the mortal is his Name;<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

An
\nartist Godhead here
\nEver remoulds himself in diviner shapes,<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Unwilling
\nto cease<\/p>\n

Till all is done for which the stars were made,<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Till
\nthe heart discovers God
\nAnd the soul knows itself. And even then<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

There
\nis no end.
\n <\/p>\n
