The End.Hush ! They
are ended ;Ended for aye ;All things that blendedInto her day.Hush ! She is sleepingCalm at the last,Laughter and weepingOver and past.Vain to recall nowWords that were saidEnded is all now ;Gladys is dead.Whisper ! Above her,Hovering near,Angels who love herWatch o’er the bier.Peace ! We must leave herCalmly to go ;Peace ! It would grieve herSeeing our woe.Heap earth, and coverTwo lives that blend ;I was her lover :This is the end.Edythe H. Cross.Symmetrical vegetal tailpiece featuring vines and flowers. 1/32 page.
