Immortality
Text by Charles Edward Ives (1874-1954)
Set by Charles Edward Ives (1874-1954), 1921.

Who dares to say the spring is dead,
in Autumn's radiant glow!
Who dares to say the rose is dead
in winter's sunset snow!
Who dares to say our child is dead!
Who dares to say our child is dead!
If God had meant she were to die,
She would not have been.
