The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1916-12-04

That no man e'er forgets.
Pressed carefully between the leaves,
They keep their color still,
| cannot look at them today
Without an old-time thrill.
All, me, what tricks does memory
play!
The passing years have fed,
And hopes that lived in vigor once,
Alas, have long been dead.
And this is all that can say,
When all is said and done,
These flowers remind me of some girl,
| wish / knew which one!
