Classic and Contemporary Poetry

IN REMEMBRANCE by ADRA CAROLINE BATCHELDER

First Line: I SHALL BE BETTER SOON,' HE TRIED TO SAY
Last Line: COMFORTS AND LINGERS NEAR.
Subject(s): MEMORY;
"I shall be better soon," he tried to say;
Ere morning dawned, his soul had sped away.

When freed from pain and sorrow,
Where did thy spirit fly?
Knowing thee, we know full well
That it could never die.

Still does thy constant courage
Give messages of cheer.
Ever thy loving kindness
Comforts and lingers near.
