AVER not now -"wealth evermore is cold, Incisive will enforcing icy heart, While Croesus' grasp imposes gyves with gold"- Here gleamed a heart whose affluent rays could hold Such wealth of warmth as souls aglow impart; A will of olden flame for civic weal, That burned at wrong, yet beamed with hope on woe; A life of worth that homes of pain reveal, Uplifting deeds he veiled in loving zeal - The grief, the gloom of loss abide below. |
