Poem.
Dear friends, l greet you. who come here today
To do NE honor tho my lips are still.
1 lie here in your midst, and may not speak
A er.t would, but still grieve not, pray,
That this NUT be. 'Tis but the lot of all.
And life has been to me so rich a gift.
Twere worth the pain Of parting to have known.
MY hand clasped yours. and have trod
The busy Streets n ot a stranger might,
But eyer as a BROTHER well beloved
OF some vast family. where each to each
Clings close, bound fast with some most sacred
And friends, my lips have known Loves purest
touch.
Nv bands are warm with Honor's daily clasp;
And when In days to come you speak my name,
Say though I've known life In both calm and
storm,
yet have kept my name and conscience fair,
And pray, forever that you hold them So"
Then the pastor with bowed head and in
fervent tones offered the following prayer ::
