By doing what they fain would have us do,
We gather in our folds a newer life
And move toward a higher, brighter aim.

To day we look with chastened, loving gaze
Far o'er the roadway that has led us here.
What sunny scenes light up the winding course!
How many flowers have bloomed beside our path!
And, though we miss some faces that call up
Fond recollections, we remember too
How bright thay made our lives while here with us.

The sweetly different and modest "Friend"
Who mid her treasured flowers at "Falling Green"
Herself was fairest of the varied bloom;
(Mary B. Brooke, 1875)

The gentle lady who with courtly grace
Gave cordial welcome to this lovely home;
(Eliza Brooke of Brooke Grove, 1882)

The genial host of "Avalon", whose quaint
And quiet humor pleased but never stung;
(Alban Gilpin, 1884)

The beautiful and kindly face that shone
Reflective of the light within and spread
At "Norwood" constant happiness and cheer;
(Anna L. Moore, 1885)
