1, '1I-1- l952 v x I i1 An Ode to One Who Did Not Die lf life were but a passing wave That washed away whate'er we gave, Then tossed us on a vacant shore, W'e'd say he died-and nothing more. But This We Know: He came to us-a smiling lad With serious intent, who stayed Too short a while. His ho es were highg And when he studied, worlied, or played, Wve learned his worth. Then we could sec ln him the useful man to be. He lived with usg He served with usg He gave his thought and time to usg He grieved with usg Rejoiced with us, So made himself a part of us! And we have heard how much he meant To those who proudly called him Son!', So fine he was that when he went- Ah, then, it seemed that life was done! For life was good, and life was dear, And life was sweet when he was near. He lived with themg He served with themg He gave his thought and time to them. He grieved with them: Rejoiced with themg So made himself a part of them! Now do we hear it said, He died! ls not our vision growing dim? Yea, we fwho bowed our heads and cried, He's ours! Wie will not part with himlnb Renew the faith that we put by: We tell you now, He did not dieli' For This We Know: They do not die who touch our hearts: They only visit Distant Parts. They turn aside! And this is sure: what love created will endure! -H. H. Wade E? 9
