Stanton’s papers by members of his family: Adieu, sweet friends—I have waited long To hear the message that calls me home. And now it comes like a low, sweet song Of welcome over the river’s foam; And my heart shall ache and my feet shall roam No more—no more; I am going home! Home! where no storm—where no tempest raves, In the light of the calm, eternal day; Where no willows weep over lonely grayes And the tears from our eyelids are kissed away. |W. D. Copeland, B. H. Boyd, Frank found Kellers, Jodie Chandler, Rex Phillips, And my soul shall sigh, and my feet shal roam No more—no more; I am going home! The foregoing from the- Atlanta Constitution is one of the best things Frank Stanton ever wrote. Nearing the other world with eye undimmed, with brain unclouded, with soul “athirst for God,” Stanton could look death straight in the eye and pen these glorious words “Going Home.” For 35 years he has written for the Constitution a daily feature of wit and humor, always brimful of joy and life, with never a line that his friends could now wish he had never penned.
