Harriet Newell Haskell : January 14th, 1835, Waldoboro, Me. May 6th, 1907, Godfrey, Ill. ; A span of sunshine gold online

and true.
'Tis meet that all who enter here, in future that

awaits,
Should pass as if on "holy ground" Memorial

Haskell Gates.

'Tis well that proud processional of those who've

gone before
Have set this gate imperial before her palace door ;
That those who're coming after can discern a Queen's

domain,
And not the sad reminder of Death's separation

pain.

So our eyes have seen the beauty of this tribute to a

soul
That made life an evang^el by its pure symmetric

whole ;
Far finer than escutcheon of a Romanoff or Guelph,
Or any shaft in Pere Lachaise, this charmed life

itself.
