No. 14.—IN MEMORIAM.

If someone said you were the rage, And had returned to us to-day, And I went off to see the play, And saw you standing on the stage,

And if about you I could see Your golden hair in masses twine, The same rich hair that used to shine, And you the same you used to be,

And I should tell you we were sad, And say that you could ill be spared, And very ill the public fared, And you imagine we were mad,

In all sincerity I'd say, Despite a clever sister's fame, 'Tis true that Ellen Terry's name Suggests a flower for our bouquet.
