{{OCR to proofread}} {{Page aside margins}} {{Page aside in Path|v=2|n=8|p=230}} {{Style P-Title small caps|level=3|1=Reincarnation.}} {{Style P-Poem|Is it my doom, though many myriad years And many a rhythmic life and death to rise To the rich calm of the nirvana skies That swallows this mortality of tears? On hopes, despairs, remorses, passions, fears, Shall I then close my long-enduring eyes, Nor severed selfhoods fondly recognize Throughout their multitudinous careers? Shall I with joy feel that unending rest Melt my full being in its drowsy tide, Never again to sin, or weep, or plod? Or will I shriek, with memory-maddened breast, "O give me back that human love which died Before I sought identity with God!"}} {{Style P-Signature|A. E. Lancaster.}} {{Footnotes}}
