DEVOTION. 
Devoted she, and day by day 
■ Over his couch did watching bend; 
And when his spirit passed away, 
Her soul with his would fain ascend. 
She loved him well, and watched with care 
The earth, that made his grave, for years ; 
She planted fairest flowers there. 
And wet them with Devotion’s tears. 
And well they grew; each blooming flower 
Tilled her heart with sad emotion; 
Yet there she watched, from hour to hour, 
Living proof of true devotion. 
John S. Adams.
