MEMORIAM
If
it be sad to speak of treasures gone,
Of
sainted geniuses called too soon away,
Of
light from this world taken, while it shone
Yet
glowing onward to the perfect day;
How
shall our griefs, if these things
Mournful
be
Flow
4th, Dear God we ask of Thee?
Have
not their voices been here among us heard?
And
their deep souls of gentleness and power,
Have
e not felt their breath in every word,
Wisdom
and blessing on us they did shower?
Yes
in our hearts their fervent words have burned
Of
heaven they were, and there
They
have returned.
This
is dedicated to all deceased Past Matrons and Past Patrons,
And
Members of Ruth Chapter #104, OE.S.
