1826-1890
Death hath no power o’er such as he;
The fulness of the life to be
Shone round him in the life he spent
Within this mortal prison pent.
Texts might we gather from his looks
Such as men read in holy books,
And in his speech could hear at will
The Master’s gracious accents still.
(Oscar Fay Adams)
