Gifted, and loved, and praised / By every friend; / Never a murmur raised / Against him, to the end! / With tireless interest / He wrought as he thought best, -- / And -- lo, we bend / Where now he takes his rest!
His heart was loyal, to / Its latest thrill, / To the home-loves he knew -- / And now forever will, -- / Mother and brother -- they / The first to pass away, -- / And, lingering still, / The sister bowed to-day.
