II Ia not for man to murmur-
We eau mourn but not eomplau;
For the worlds Grand Master tells US
That the good shall rlso again.
"None knew him bu, to love him."
As man whoto hoart contained
The jewel rare Of charity,
Whose works his word sustained.
Whose every thought and action
Were honorable and fair,
Whose record Of a useful life
Was measured by the square.
He has gone from earthly labors,
Waited on the wings Of love,
To the presence Of the Architect,
Who shall say to him above;
"Thou hast been faithful craftsman,
Building up Ny temple walls;
And now thy work Is ended,
Enter thou Its glorious halls"
