In loving remembrance of my dear husband, Frank Murphy, who died at Easter-tide five years ago. The stars are dimly shining upon a lonely grave.

Why should our tears of sorrow flow When God recalls His own, 'And bids them leave a world of woe for an immortal crown? In the home of fadeless beauty He is now a shining star, Dwelling in the Holy City With the gates of gold.
