THE MIRACLE

AND OTHER POEMS

BY VIRNA SHEARD

1913







TO MY DEAR BROTHER

ELDRIDGE STANTON (JUNIOR)

WHO DIED BRAVELY AT NIAGARA, ON THE AFTERNOON OF
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 4TH, 1912.

No tears for thee, no tears, or sighs,
Or breaking heart--
But smiles, that thou so well that bitter hour
Didst play thy part!
