GOING HOME
The following poem
among Frank L. 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.
