Some meet it bravely, some with a tear. To some it comes like a thief in the night. Silently, cautiously, banishing light. Oft as the Queen bee, when summer is nigh. From the bud takes the honey and leaves it to die. Some it relieves of anguish and pain. To all it comes once but never again; No mortal has seen it but all hear its call, The summons of death, the master of all. Fame breasts not its power. Beauty loses her lure. Wealth shrinks in oblivion, naught can en¬ dure This power supreme we all feel its breath. The call of the Master, the summons of Death. Parker A. Scott,’25 Forty-seven
