On The Death Of A Friend

________________________________________________
Title:     On The Death Of A Friend
Author: J. C. Manning [More Titles by Manning]

She left a mournful void upon our hearts;
Within her home she left a vacant place:
But, as the setting sun at eve imparts
A holy twilight calm to nature's face,
So, chastened, bend we o'er the early tomb
Of one who to us all was very dear,
Whose cherished memory, like a fragrant bloom,
Will live embalmed in recollection's tear.







[The end]
