Nor will you ever be,

For surely you will race across the heavens faster than any star

Death is the golden key that opens the palace of Eternity.

Though absent you are very near
Still loved, still missed, and very dear

The song has ended, but the melody lingers on

Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past
All safe and blessèd we shall meet at last.
