MIZPAH (MESSAGE FOR ABSENT FRIENDS): 4 by FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL

First Line: AS THE SOUNDING SHELL CONVEYS
Last Line: FAIL NOT TO RISE FOR THEE.
Subject(s): BIRTHDAYS;
As the sounding shell conveys
The murmur of the sea,
So let this tiny token raise
Some memory of me;
For loving thought of prayer and praise
Fail not to rise for thee.
