My name and my place and my tomb, all forgotten, Only remembered by what I have done. Gladly away from this toil would I hasten, Up and away, like the odours of sunset, That sweeten the twilight as darkness comes on,- And I but remembered by what I have done. Yes, like the fragrance that wanders in freshness, When the flowers that it came from are closed up and gone,— So would I be to this world's weary dwellers, Only remembered by what I have done. Needs there the praise of the love-written record, I need not be missed, if my life has been bearing I need not be missed, if another succeed me, To reap down those fields which in spring I have sown; Not myself, but the truth that in life I have spoken, Not myself, but the seed that in life I have sown, Shall pass on to ages,—all about me forgotten, Save the truth I have spoken, the things I have done. So let my living be, so be my dying; So let my name lie, unblazoned, unknown,-- NOTICE. All readers of this Journal are most earnestly besought to give it room in their prayers; that by means of it God may be honoured and His truth advanced; also, that it may be conducted in faith and love, with sobriety of judgment and discernment of the truth, in nothing carried away into error, or hasty speech, or sharp unbrotherly disputation. cxlviii., 281. cxlix., 282. cl., 284.
