367. In Memoriam F. O. S.

By Sara Teasdale


YOU go a long and lovely journey,
For all the stars, like burning dew,
Are luminous and luring footprints
Of souls adventurous as you.

Oh, if you lived on earth elated,	5
How is it now that you can run
Free of the weight of flesh and faring
Far past the birthplace of the sun?
