REQUIESCAT
Dark eves of lambent grey. Beneath a thoughtful brow, A voice where music dwelt, Silent, for ever, now. A mind as pure a® snow. That chose the nobler part; Now that brief life is closed, And darkness fills my heart. Now the glad days are past— The laughter, and the love, Shadows across my path. Wherever I shall rove.. Sorrow that seres and fills Sad eyes, with unshed tears; The closed book of a boy's life, To dwell on thro* tho years. And far across the seas, Above his sleeping hoodi, The song-birds thut he loved so well, Hover overhead. * Hover, and sweetly sing A Requiem, bending low, For him who loved all lovely things. That dwell with us below. —LAURA JEi£N VICTORY.
