Gone From My Sight
A ship sails and I stand watching till she fades
On the horizon and someone at my side
Says she is gone.
Gone where?
Gone from my sight, that is all.
She is just as large now as when I saw her.
Her diminished size and total loss
From my Sight is in me, not in her.
And just at the moment when someone at
My side says she is gone, there are others
Who are watching her coming over their
Horizon and other voices take up a glad
Shout, "There she comes."
That is what dying is.
A horizon and just the limit of our sight.
Lift us up, Oh Lord, that we may
See further.
