IN MEMORIAM[1]
These to his memory. May the age arriving,
As ours, recall
That bravest heart, that gay and gallant striving,
That laurelled pall!
As ours, recall
That bravest heart, that gay and gallant striving,
That laurelled pall!
Blithe and rare spirit! We, who later linger
By bleaker seas,
Sigh for the touch of the Magician's finger,
His golden keys!
By bleaker seas,
Sigh for the touch of the Magician's finger,
His golden keys!
