IN MEMORIAM
Of John Meredith Jones Who
Died September L, 1898.

Released at last The anchor slowly lifted,
The moorings loosed by deaths cold hand:
How swiftly the poor bark hath drifted
Out from the shore of this regretless land
Shadows of night, in vain We seek to gather
Around those sails the sunlight hOvers there
On the frai1 bark of my dear Brother,
The voyage begins unto the Harbor fair.
And as she sails away across the pillows
Catching upon her maStS each mystic beam
And / stand here, beneath the weeping willow
Watching her fade like some sad fleeing Dire am
I cannot grieve, cannot weep, bewai1ling
The dear departed, fondly loved and lost;
There arc no pir ates on the sea she IS sailing
And Heaven is hers, when once the waves are
crossed.
o precious soul, so generous, kind heroic,
Surely for me they franchised spirit sues
1t is no heartless fearless stole
Who cries, God speed thee" on thy happy
cruise.
But only as watch the down the Ocean
Nearing the Port no tempest can DESTROY
L think with pleasure of your raptured vision
When light Ince more fills your heart with low
Joy, that the weary storms forever ceasing
Shall never assail thee more, in wind or lwave
And nought OF sorrow, Or of pain thy heart dis
tressing,
But everlastin g light among the saved
And when across deaths dark and dangerous
Ocean,
My poor bark comes sailing to that shore
Z may st thou then, with old time fald devotion
BE first to greet me, welcome Home once
more"
