IN MEMORIAM
[A tribute to the memory of our beloved son, Ashley Ebam, who was fatally injured at a cricket match on 12th December, 1908.]
Thou were so beautiful and gay, "With gifted mind and tongue. Thy parents' idol, hope, and stay. Beloved by old and young. Thy years were. few, oh son of ours, Scarce reaching manhood '» prime, "With all their wondrona _ wealth of power— The human and divine. Lflie some sweet bower of matchless bloom, The reaper's blade. lays low, THou wert cut down, that from thy tomb Immortal flowers might blow. Farewell, 'tis but a little while— A lonely last good night ! Till we shall meet thee with thy smile That made our world so bright. For we shall me2t thee, Ashley dear, When all things are restored Beyond our cross, of death, and loss, Redeemed, and with our Lord. E.L.C.
