TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY
OF HELGE G. F0RSBERG

The following verses were written by
Col. John a. Joyce as a. tribute to the
memory OF Capt. Hedge G. Forsberg.
who died suddenly on January zS:
a generous, loving man departs
For lands beyond the stars and sun.
He hinged himself on human hearts
And ali his work was braVely done.
a Patriot of the finest mold
He loved his country first and last.
and wrought for homer more than gold,
So stanch and true IN every blast
he gave TO all he CHANGED to meet
A hand and heart of bounding glee
And In the home and hall and street
His lofty soul was proud and free.
Above his grave let roses bloom
As sunshine gilds the fieeting hours
Wnie tears OF friends AROUND his tomb
snail sprinkle future summer flowers.
ana as the years around us roll
wen often wander to the sod
Wnere rests this noble, human soul
Embosomed with his gracious God.
JOHN a. JOYCE.
