TO THE MEMORY
OF
“THE ONE”
A life so close to ours, and yet apart
By all the wide and unsailed seas of race,
But yet a faithful soul, a loving heart
Can send a voice o’er that unbounded space.
We knew thy wants, thy soft eyes told thy love,
Thy joys and sorrows were to us as dear
As though winged words were given thee from above,
Nor any human soul could be more dear.
No man more pure and single in his life,
Thou lov’dst one only and to her wast true.
Thy love was firm, thou seekedst naught that’s new,
Affection’s chain kept out the rule of strife.
So close thy little life twined round the heart,
That of our life thou art henceforth a part.
