More from Gibran

I shall live beyond death, and I shall sing in your ears
Even after the vast sea- wave carries me back
to the vast sea-depth.
I shall sit at your board though without a body,
and I shall go with you to your fields, a spitit invisible.
I shall come to you at your fireside,a guest unseen.
Death changes nothing but the mask that covers our faces.
The woodsman shall still be a woodsman,
The ploughman,a ploughman,
and he who sang his song to the wind
shall sing it also to the moving spheres.
_Khalil Gibran
