IN MEMORIAM OF
REV. S. H. SMITH, JAN. 28, 1937
Groin be the turf above thee
Friend of my better days!
Nono knew but to love thee,
Nor named thee but to praise.
And I, who woke each morrow
To clasp thy hand in mine,
Who shared thy joys and sorrows,
Who weal and v ce were thine.
I
While memory bids me weep
thee,
j Nor thoughts nor words are free,
The grief is, fixed too deep, ^
That mourns for one like thee.
