David O. McKay Quote

During all my research in this class I found this quote, I loved it, so typed it up and saved it.

Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting,

The Soul that rises with us, our life’s Star,

Hath had elsewhere its setting

And cometh from afar;

Not in entire forgetfulness,

And not in utter nakedness

But trailing clouds of glory do we come

From God, who is our home.

(David O. McKay, as cited by Harold B. Lee, Address to BYU Sixth Stake, 27 Apr. 1969, p. 20.)
