GONE HOME. 



Dr. C. C. Miller of Marengo, Illinois. 



fBy Frederick Webley, M. D., E. San Diego, Calif.) 



Now he has passed beyond the bourne, we know 



Why brothers of the Bee Craft loved him so. 



As Homer said of one: "It was his plan _ 



To live beside the road, a friend to man." 



He did not seek for honor or renown, 



But as a knight sought virtue as a crown. 



He showed us how to leave the city's strife 



And free, with Nature, live the Simple Life. 



At Home with friends, his garden and his bees 



He found his work and happiness and ease. 



In heart he knew the consecrating grace 



From God's own heart, his strong abiding place. 



Kindly and gentle, noble and sincere; 



His life, in passing, left its fragrance here. 



He was a Master of the Gentle Craft 



The happy bee folks follow. Once a draught 



He drew, in his bright youth, from Nature's well 



(Sweet as the Hippocrene, poets tell. 



Flowed from Parnassus), and his heart indrew 



Love for the Beautiful, the Good, the True, 



And love for all things living, flowers and trees, 



The birds and furry folk — but most the bees. 



Was it from them he glimpsed of God's design 



Of Social Brotherhood, but made divine? 



For him a host of workers, on swift wings. 



Brought sweetness from the living heart of things; 



It seemed that all the bees of Arcady 



Gathered to help him and his skill repay. 



What meetings and what greetings his to know. 

 Where blessings, sweet as milk and honey, flow, 

 Huber and Langstroth welcome him as one, 

 And Cowan, with the gentle Hutchinson. 

 'Tis sM'eet to find that Faith is lost in Sight, 

 And Hope fulfilled in infinite Delight. 

 'Twas so with him when he had crossed the stream 

 He met the loved and lost ones of his dream; 

 And One. his Angel, smiling, took his hand 

 And led him upward to the Radiant Land. 

 There will he rest, his earthly labors done. 

 For him the Life Immortal — ^just begun.
