TO---

Friend of the weary-hearted and the sad,
Whose joy has been in making others glad,
We will not write thy praise.
In grateful hearts, which hold lip-homage cheap,
We choose, with long, sweet tenderness, to keep
The record of thy ways;
And pray for thee that highest suns may shine
Through all thy peaceful days.
February 3, 1870.
