------------------
Mrs. Effie Klock, a long time
friend of Mr. Crites requested that
the following two poems used by
Rev. Brockman be printed:
Onward it crept with added
strength,
Never a thought of fear or pride
And it followed the light through
the crevice length
And unfolded itself on the other
side.
The light, the dew, the broadening
view,
Were found the same as they
were before;
It lost itself in beauties new,
Breathing its fragrance more and
more.
Shall claim of death cause us to
grieve,
And make our courage faint or
fall?
Nay, let us faith and hope receive
The rose still grows beyond the
wall.
Scattering fragrance far and wide.
