IN MEMORIAM.
ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON. Sing Southern zephyr, sadly sing, And moan Pacific wave; . Fling, fara three, thy perfume fling Upon his grave. Thou sombre-feathered dove desert thy bower, And o'er the em'rald turf, Out-rival with thy dull tone's booming power The sobbing surf. And thou serenest Cross thy golden gleams ray down To form a halo bright; Upon his mountain tomb a thrice immortal crown Reflect by night. # # * * # Calm be thy sleep, sweet songster of a Southern shore, Though hushed the magic of thy voice hero evermore, There, where freed spirits sing upon the unknown strand, Imperial welcome waits thee in Hereafter Land. Fabian D'A. De Lisle. Palmerston North, December 25th, 1894.
