In Memoriam
To Mamie Hoag, May 5, 1914—May 5, 1919

Five years ago this lovely day,
Five saddened years have passed away;
And we, who spread thy casket o'er,
Yet think of thee as oft before.

Each day we to thy memory yearn,
When winter fades and birds return,
And Nature grants us golden hours,
Yet mourns thee in her springtime showers.

1919
