“I have finished the work which Thou gavest Me to do.”
“Tis finishèd!” That voice hath reached the shore
Of never-ending ages, and more far
Than hath been traversed by the highest star;
Swifter than lightning it hath pierced the door
Of Hell, and echoes there for evermore.
'Tis finishèd: Death from life's theatre
The everlasting portals doth unbar,
The sinless Soul hath passed, and all is o'er.
It is a moment which we all must see,
On which there hangs a whole eternity,
And which to each can be but once; when they
Who now in Heaven watch this our trial day
Shall to each other say, “'tis finishèd;”
And men on earth shall whisper, “he is dead.”
