Dead and Forgotten.

There is a grave, neglected, bare. To which no pilgrim ever goes; No stone has been erected there, And there no blossom ever blows. Yet he who lies within that grave Was Worthy of all good men’s praise; He was high minded, famous, brave, A man who walked in wisdom's ways. He was a man who dared to stand With one or two for what was right, He lent new glory to his land. He prized his honor more than might -,' ' v l ’Tis long since he through darkneag groped, * Long since his proud lips have been dumb. He was the man that'once I hoped I should have courage to become. —B. E. Kiser.
