A Fame That Never Ends

He was a friend

Whose heart was good;
Who walked with men
And understood;

His was a voice
That spoke to cheer,
And fell like music
On the ear.

His was a smile
Men loved to see;
His was a hand
That asked no fee
For friendliness
Or kindness done.

And now that he
has journeyed on
his is a fame
That never ends;
but leaves behind
Uncounted friends.
