3111 flllemnriam The beauty of a great life never dies, It is a spirit thing, Like the Haming glory of a sunset sky, Gr a faint breath of springg Gr rare old music played upon the heart, By us half understood, It enters in our being, forms a part Of all we longed to be,- Yet never could. VVe have rich memories of him whose face Vvle shall not see againg YVe see him in his long-accustomed place, XYe hear his voice. and then That low, deep chuckle-the twinkling of his eyes, As though life held in store For every moment some unguessed surprise, A glimpse of hidden beauty Unperceived before. XYiser than others are, and yet as kind, He searched out priceless treasures From the golden storehouse of his mind, And gave them without measure. And then we only guessed a little part Clf all that he wasp the scroll Vilas hidden from our eyes. but in our hearts lYe sensed the perfect calm And greatness of his soul. Far greater than the world had ever known him, Far humbler than we ever thought, For time had given its bestg the past had shown him Things we comprehended not. But how know the whole before the part is learned? lt is enough that we have stayed :X little while with him--that he has turned Our thoughts to higher, nobler things,- And then marched on, quite unafraid. -K.
