FRANK TRIGG,
The following heartfelt little tribute to
the memory of William Taubman was
sent us by our old friend, Henry Kramer,
of Westport:
My simple verse cannot unfold
His need of praise
Whose work is done.
His race is DER;
The goal is won;
His voice is STILL
His brow is coid.
Amid earth's rude and selfish clan,
Who toll for pelf,
Who strive for power,
His life was true in every hour.
You knew HIM?
Thea you knew a MAN.
