friendship and love in commemoration of
my sincere friend. KATHERINE E. BEARD,
who was called home four years ago today,
December 3 1934.
I never crossed your threshold with a grief
But that I went without it: never came
Heartsore but that you healed me. eased the
blame
And gave the sorrow solace and relief.
I never left you but I took away
Friendship that drew me to your side again,
Through that wide door that never could
remain
Quite closed between us for a little day.
Ohl Friend, who gave and comforted, wh»
knew
So overwell the want of heart and mind.
Where may I turn for solace now. or find
Relief from this unceasing loss ot you?
Be it for fault, for folly, or for sin.
Oh! Terrible my penance and most sore
To face the tragedy of that closed door
Whereby I pass and may not enter in.
