In Memoriam HERE is an angel of eternal rest With brooding wings, and patience- shadowed eyes And softly-sandled feet, upon Whose breast A sheaf of crimson poppy-blossoms lies. With gentle hands she stops the artist's brushg She takes the youthful student from his books,' And at her bidding, poet's songs must hush,- She calls-they go without a backward look. The teacher leaves her class,' the busy clerk lllust drop his pen. None ever may defy The angel's summons from his earthly work .... Though we are left to grieve, and ques- tion why, Forgetful of the solace that death brings, Of restand peace, beneath her brooding wings. L. Thoma.
