    Patricia McKenna McGehee

    What though the radiance which was once so bright
    Be now forever taken from my sight,
    Though nothing can bring back the hour
    Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
    We will grieve not, rather find Strength in what remains behind.
      William Wordsworth
