Excerpt from St. Blasien's Maid: An Alsacian Idyl Dedication Hon. Alfred Erskine Brush. As In some sacred temple, veiled and dim, We bow with holiest vow and prayer, Or shrine our purest thoughts in some sweet hymn - We place our best upon the altar there. So I have shrined in tribute which I bring, Of simple loyal hearts, beyond the sunlit sea, The holiest theme of which a bard may sing. The rarest gem in memory's treasury. Of greater worth is one true, loyal heart, Than all this life can offer us beside, To hold one friend from all the world apart - To know he will not change what e'er betide. So, looking back across the fading years, No statelier gift, methinks, may heaven send - Than thou hast been, through mist of grateful tears I write it here, the holy name of friend.
