To the Memory of Robert B. Tolles. 



BY DR. J. W. DINSDALE, CHICAGO. 

 Of cypress shall ye now your garlands make, 



And drowsy poppies for your sorrow's sake. 

 With words that halt for breath — 



And through the sadness of succeeding years, 

 Lo ! ye that live shall water them with tears 



In memory of his death. 



Laurels and roses shall ye also twine — 

 With notes of dulcimer and song divine 



Shall all the air be rife^ 



And hearts be glad o'er all the land and sea 



Joined fast in bonds of close fraternity — 

 In memory of his life.
