IN MEMORY OF CURTIS.
Ode for the Dedication of the Curtis Lyceum
of the Staten Island Academy.
BY William Winter.
February "a, 1908.

Beneath the snow beneath the daisies,
Beyond all thought of good or Ill.
Beyond all blame beyond all praises,
He sleepS-whom we remember still;
Remember. honor and deplore him.
The while our hearts are murm ring o er him
Alas, If he could only know.
II
He cannot know: the veil Of sable.
The dense, iFapenetrable night,
Ger him has closed.-and all is fable
OF things beyond our mortal sight
Yet. can love, and having known him.
That royal soul whom we revere
Our faithful hearts may well bemoan him!
Our homage well may crown him here!
III.
He cannot know It's vigil keeping,
Above him waves the solemn pine,
While Ger the sod where he lies sleeping
The wild rose and the bramble twine;
High up the curlews dart cluster:
More near old ocean smiles or weeps;
And he is part of all the lustre
OF Natures pomp wherein he sleeps.
"
He lives in Mornings wave of spIendor;
He lives in evenings pensive CLEAN;
He lives in memories sweet and tender.
Where roses burn. where violets dream:
His image fills all sacred places
A shape that Time can never dim,
In life he haIIowed all the graces.
And dead, all graces hallow him!
V
His was the will that never faltered:
The promise that was always kept
The stern resolve that never altered;
The vigil heart that never slept:
The generous wish TO scatter blessings;
The purpose OF celestial grace,
That has no life save in redressng
The wrongs that curse the human race!
VI.
Our worldly schemes full soon are blighted.
Like US they dwind1e and decay;
But let this shrine TO him be plighted
Whose glory cannot pass away,
With whose pure name forever blended .
Virtue and Wisdom stand secure.
In fame that never be ended,
And like that name, II viii endure.
