IN MEMORY OF

HYMAN PHINEAS MARKS, L.R.C.S.I.

DIED 13TH OF FEBRUARY 5637. 1877.

WHOM THE LORD LOVETH HE TAKETH.

 

FARE THEE WELL, FARE THEE WELL, O BELOV'D OF THE SOUL!

OUR YEARNINGS SHALL HALLOW THE LOSS WE DEPLORE:

SLUMBER SOFT IN THE GRAVE TILL WE WIN TO THY GOAL

SLUMBER SOFT, SLUMBER SOFT, TILL WE SEE THEE ONCE MORE!

TILL THE TRUMPET THAT HERALDS GOD'S COMING IN THUNDER

FROM THE HILL-TOPS OF LIGHT SHALL RING OVER THY BED

TILL THE PORTALS OF DEATH SHALL BE RIVEN ASUNDER

AND THE STORMWIND OF GOD WHIRL THE DUST OF THE DEAD

TILL THE BREATH OF JEHOVAH SHALL PASS O'ER THE TOMBS

EARTH TO EARTH MAY RETURN THE MATERIAL TO MATTER

BUT HIGH FROM THE CELL SOARS THE SPIRIT ABOVE

HIS ASHES THE WIND OF THE TEMPEST MAY SCATTER

THE LIFE OF ETERNITY LIVES IN HIS LOVE.
