Turn Again to Life

If I should die and leave you here a while,be not like others sore undone,who keep long vigil by the silent dust.For my sake turn again to life and smile,nerving thy heart and trembling handto do something to comfort other hearts than thine.Complete these dear unfinished tasks of mineand I perchance may therein comfort you.

- Mary Lee Hall, read at the funeral of Princess Diana by her eldest sister, Lady Sarah McCorquodale
