I thought you dood: It was II dream!
Fate had q bittorcr lot in store
You to live on, estranged md cold,
to exist yet live no moro.
Another natal morn hos dawncd;
watched the stars ut break Of day,
AS far behind the western sleeps
They faded into misty grey,
And spoke not. Only in my heart
There rose family murmured PRAYER:
GOOD bless my friend tho friond no more
And silent passed into tear.
