IN MEMORIAM: THOMAS HILL GREEN.

WE, who from thee, strong, patient spirit, drew Courage to bear and wit to understand Our several life-tasks, trusted that the hand Of Death would spare thee for the work we knew Thou wast so nobly counselled to pursue,—

To bend the froward to the pure command

Of loving duty, and to win this land From sin and drunkenness, unto the true Ideal life. Lo! thou art gone before; And we, like orphaned children, stand and strain Eyes, wet with weeping, from Life's desolate shore Across the deep, which thou hast traversed, fain To follow thee, and share in thy repose From the exacting strain of earthly woes. F. C. C.
