AFTER DEATH
(Written a few hours before he
passed away, by the late Dr. F.
de Soma Mendes, who died on Oc-
tober 25, 1927.)
So this is Death? I call it Life,
life supreme, fine and free.
I watched them lay in darkeome
earth
That aging form that was called
me.
My dear ones wept and shed salt
tears;
They sorrowed at my silent state;
Ilad they but known, their loving
fears
Might well have fled for joy elate;
For this is Life. . , .
No more do racking pains my
form convulse,
No more need 1 my sufferings hide
Lest in them they suffer too.
I cannot speak that they can hear;
I cannot sign that they can see,
But through the portals of the
mind
I find they can be led by me.
The rightful course . . . the ac-'
tion fair,
For I can whisper, as it were
And who more steadfastly than 1
Can guide their stumbling, falter-
ing feet?
