SHIAWASSEE COUNTY .11
They are ours and hold in faithful keeping,
Safe forever, all they took away; Cruel life can never stir that sleeping',
Cruel time can never seize that prey.
Justice pales; truth fades; stars fall from heaven,
Human are the great whom we revere; No true crown of honor can be given
Till the wreath lies on the funeral bier.
When our joy is lost—and life will take it-Then no memory of the past remains, Save with some cruel stings that make it
i
save with some cruel stings Bitterness beyond all present pains.
