Sarah Doudney 1843- ? John Bartlett

    The pure, the beautiful, the bright,
  That stirred our hearts in youth,
The impulse to a wordless prayer,
  The dreams of love and truth,
The longings after something lost,
  The spirit’s yearning cry,
The strivings after better hopes,—
  These things can never die.
          Things that never die.
