Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from In Memoriam; Maymie: April 6th, 1869
Wilt thou not gather all thy children here Who mourn, despairing, o'er some buried joy; A life, unto their inmost souls most dear, A cherished daughter, or a darling boy? And bid them sit with me to hear my dirge, And tell me if they feel a kindred woe; If the deep waves of sorrow round them surge.
