CONQUERING RIVERS by ALAN CREIGHTON

First Line: DEATH IS CONQUERED
Last Line: TO THE SEA OF LIFE!
Subject(s): DEATH; DEAD, THE;
Death is conquered
When the running dawn
Has secret blood-pulse
And surge of doing.

Death is conquered
In warm breathing,
In a twinkling smile,
In each happy glow;

But how much more
In the stir of love --
Each friend a river
To the sea of life!
