Show MARK TWAIN AND DR. CONDON OF OGDEN. Some time ago Mark Twain wrote the following follow-ing linos believed by many to be the prettiest thing he has ever written and had them cut in the marble block over his wife's grave in El-mira, El-mira, N. Y.: Warm summer sun, ; Shine kindly here: Warm southern wind, Blow softly here; Greon sod above, Lie light, lie light. Good night, dear heart. Good night, good night. At the funeral services of an estimable lady in Ogdon a little over a week ago, Dr. Condon of that city paid a tribute to the deceased, closing clos-ing with the following verse: Stars gently beam on the turf o'er thy breast, Birds, voiceful birds, soothe thy pillow of rest; Warm summer sun, 0, shine kindly down there, Soft southern winds, whisper low on the air; Green sod above thee, O, lightly lie light, Say we, dear heart, here's a tearful good night. |
