    before turning our face to the wall, and tranquilly closing our eyes, we shall await the final kiss of our devoted faithful wife, and the farewell hand-grasp of our dearest friends—not a few, thank God ! and loyal to the end! “ Pray for my soul ! More things are wrought by Prayer Than this world dreams of. Wherefore, let thy voice Rise like a fountain for me night and day; For what are men better than sheep, or goats That nourish a blind life within the brain, If, knowing God, they lift not hands of Prayer, Both for themselves, and those who call them friend ? For so the whole round earth is every way Bound by gold chains about the feet of God ! ” “ And, friends, dear friends, when it shall be That my low breath is gone from me. And round my bier you come to weep, Let one most loving of you all Say, ‘ Not a tear must o’er him fall, ‘ He giveth His beloved sleep.’ ” RrCHMOND, SURREY, 1913.
