Show poem was and dedicated to Meakin by T. P. author of Take You Home and other popular songs and Like the delicate odor of flowers in Like the glittering sunshine dispelling the Like sympathy's tears on a desolate He came with his and And the heart that had longed for a In a world where ambition and selfishness Found comfort and cure for its In the voice of our good neighbor i And the friendships of that were dead long Came forth in their grave clothes and walked to Till life had returned with its radiant And hearty handclasps they were And fast seemed to open his eyes He'd gone out of the world was too wise But he was how glad his By the voice of our good neighbor God speed you and bless you many long Go on with your mission and wipe away From eyes that are blinded with shadowy From lives with sorrow are And when the glad song of your is By glorified spirits in angelic They'll tell how on earth both the old and the young Were helped by our good neighbor |
