IN MEMORIAM

by Margaret Sangster

 

His feet had carried him so very swiftly,

Into the lands of wonder and romance;

And yet, although they travelled far, they never

Forgot to dance.

 

His lips had learned to speak a stranger language,

His smile had warmed the wistful, lonely earth –

Yet fame had never taken, from his spirit,

The gift of mirth!

 

Although his eyes glimpsed bitterness and sadness,

They saw a dream that few folk ever see –

God grant the dream may tinge, with lovely color,

Death’s Mystery!

Photoplay, October 1926
