WHY ARE WE HERE? An answer
There comes a time, when, with earth's best love
us,
To feed the heart's great hunger and desire,
We find not even this can satisfy us;
The soul within us cries for something higher.
What greater proof need we that we inherit
A life immortal in another sphere f
It is the homesick longing of the spirit
That cannot find its satisfaction here.
