To Lillian Massey Treble

A woman with a heart of gold I heard her called before I knew How noble was that heart and true, How full of tenderness untold. Her sympathies both broad and sure, Her one desire to do the right— Clear visioned from the inner light God gives to souls unworldly, pure. A heart of gold that loves and gives, God's almoner from day to day, Of her there is but this to say: The world is better that she lives.
