Excerpt from Souvenir Verse and Story: Memorial of Fifty Years

We are growing old - How the thought will rise
When a glance is backward cast
Of some long remembered spot that lies
In the silence of the past:
It may be the shrine of our early vows
On the tomb of our early tears,
But it seems like a far-off isle to us
In the stormy sea of years.

- Frances Browne.
