President John Fitzgerald Kenne November 22, 1963 dy I think continually of those who were truly great. . . . Of those who in their hearts fought for life, Who wore at their hearts the fire's center. Born of the sun they traveled a short while towards the sun, And left the vivid air signed with their honor. Stephen S pender

MEMORIAM The Reaper and the Flowers There is a Reaper, whose name is Death, And, with his sickle keen, He reaps the bearded grain at a breath, And the flowers that grow between. Shall I have naught that is fair? saith heg Have naught but the bearded grain? Though the breath of these flowers is sw I will give them all back again. He gazed at the flowers with tearful eyes, He kissed their drooping leaves, It was for the Lord of Paradise He bound them in his sheaves. My Lord has need of these flowerets gay The Reaper said, and smiledg Dear tokens of the earth are they, Where He was once a child. They shall all bloom in fields of light, Transplanted by my care, And saints, upon their garments white, These sacred blossoms wear. And the mother gave, in tears and pain, The flowers she most did loveg She knew she should find them all again In the fields of light above. Oh, not in cruelty, not in wrath, The Reaper came that dayg 'Twas an angel visited the green earth, And took the flowers away. eet to me D 3 Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
