Their voices blended charmingly and sweet:
’Twas joy to hear them, but grief when not heard.
The Tarvins were singers; like them no other;
Mattie and Sally, Lewis and their mother.
It also had school masters, great and good,
Whose memory the pupils will e’er bless;
Who’re wise and kind and childhood understood,
And worshipped for meekness and gentleness:
Miss Kister, Thomas Randolph and John King,
Frank Paul, Pierce Hickey and F. D. Joslyn.
