All nature has a feeling: woods, fields, brooks
Are life eternal: and in silence they
Speak happiness beyond the reach of books;
There’s nothing mortal in them; their decay
Is the green life of change; to pass away
And come again in blooms revivified.
Its birth was heaven, eternal it its stay,
And with the sun and moon shall still abide
Beneath their day and night and heaven wide.
Your Grief For What You’ve Lost Holds A Mirror
Wisdom from 13th Century poet Rumi, suitable to read as a funeral poem or eulogy at a loved one’s funeral service.
