Book excerpt: Excerpt from The First American, and Other Poems Friend and brother Speak the words so low And whisper them in halls where he was dear. Passing in a grove where fragrant cheer Of owers manifold at twilight's glow Hushes the air with calm so sweet, so slow That softly we walk on nor dread the drear Beyond, so his life frees us from our fear And bids us onward till the light we know. Though Death's dark asterisk had marked his name, Life with the golden pen of deeds that are And skill immortal, underneath Death's frown Gilded that spot with such effulgent ame That now it gleams, a glory-giving star, And beckons on to service and renown.my lady OF all saints.
