SO beautifully penned by James Whitcomb
Riley:
"A good man never dies;
In worthy deed and prayer,
And helpful hands and honest eyes,
If smiles or tears be there.
Who lives for you or me
Lives for the world he tries
To help-he lives eternally-
"A good man never dies.
'Who lives to bravely take.
His share of toll and stress,
And, for his weaker fellows sake,
Makes every burden less,
He may, at last, seem worn
Lie fallen-hands and eyes
Folded-yet, though we mourn and mourn,
A good man never dies"
