Funeral Poem There is No Night Without a Dawning by Helen Steiner Rice

A small Easter gift for you.

At this time of year, Christians contemplate loss and renewal. We realise without one there cannot be the other, just as day follows night.



This brief but strong poem by Helen Steiner Rice is often spoken at funerals. It reminds us of that universal truth.

These words will have impact for everyone, no matter what your faith, or even if you have none.

There is no Night without a dawning

No winter without a spring

And beyond the dark horizon

Our hearts will once more sing ….

For those who leave us for a while

Have only gone away

Out of a restless, care worn world

Into a brighter day
