Analysis of From Beyond
Duncan Campbell Scott 1862 (Ottawa) – 1947
Here there is balm for every tender heart
Wounded by life;
Rest for each one who bore a valiant part
Crushed in the strife.
I suffered there and held a losing fight
Even to the grave;
And now I know that it was very right
To suffer and be brave.
