GONE FROM MY SIGHT⠀
“I am standing upon the seashore. A ship, at my side,⠀
spreads her white sails to the moving breeze and starts⠀
for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength.⠀
I stand and watch her until, at length, she hangs like a speck⠀
of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.⠀
Then, someone at my side says, “There, she is gone.”⠀
Gone where?⠀
Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast,⠀
hull and spar as she was when she left my side.⠀
And, she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.⠀
Her diminished size is in me—not in her.⠀
And, just at the moment when someone says, “There, she is gone,”⠀
there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices⠀
ready to take up the glad shout, “Here she comes!”⠀
And that is dying.”#HENRYVANDYKE⠀
