IN MEMORIAM.
MANERA,—In loving memory of Marie Manera, who died, August 12th 1917. We do not grudge your eyes the blessed light. Which gladdens them upon life’s further Bhore, Although our eyes ache hourly for the sight Of your dear face, lost for evermore. We do not envy you your well-earned rest, Beyond the ebb and flow of mortal • tide, Although life’s cares have harder on us pressed, Than in the days when you were by our side. We wouid not wish you in our midst again, For all the comfort that your lovo could give. We would not cause to you an instant’s pain, Whatever pleasure we might thus re. ceive. And yet we miss you with a growing want. Which seems as though it must lie satisfied. Apd your dear shadows every corner haupt. Yet evermore beyond pur vision glide. Inserted by her loving mother, brother and sisters.
