Could live -- did live

 Could live -- did live --
Could die -- did die --
Could smile upon the whole
Through faith in one he met not,
To introduce his soul.
Could go from scene familiar To an untraversed spot -- Could contemplate the journey With unpuzzled heart -- Such trust had one among us, Among us not today -- We who saw the launching Never sailed the Bay!
