Dedication
To FLORA ALLEN DRURY – 1894-1973
Here lies a heart,
Dead not half a year;
I shan’t defile her grave
With half a tear.
I would, instead, recall
The many times she paced
This ground to meet
Her love’s embrace …
Remember her smiles,
Easily won …
Remember how her hair
Shone in the sun …
Remember how great beauty
Brought her tears …
Remember that she loved me
Many years.
