Edgar Guest - The Departed
Work rating: Low

IF no one ever went ahead,
If we had seen no friend depart 
And mourned him for a while as dead, 
How great would be our fear to start.

If no one for us led the way,
No loved one, garbed in angel white 
Stood there, a welcome word to say,
Then we should fear the Heavenly flight.

If we should never say "good bye,"
Should never shed the parting tear,
We`d face the journey to the sky 
In horrible despair and fear. 

It is because our friends have gone 
And left us in this vale of breath, 
Because of those who`ve journeyed on, 
That we can bravely smile at death.
