[email protected]. T. W OLIVER MEMORIAL GYMNASIUM PIKEVILLE HIGH SCHOOL THIS MAN SHALL NEVER DIE Lines written for T. W. Oliver, soon after his death on August 12, 1949. By William M. Justice He's left his monuments of brick and stone, Which, in themselves, are great enough to enshrine Him in our memories for years to come, And in the memories of many more- An untold number-who shall follow us T.hrough still uncounted years. But brick and stone Cannot assure him immortality. The Starry lift he gave to other lives, The hope he caused .to spring eternal in A ihost of human hearts, that in their turn, Shall pass his vision through the centuries- These things decree: THIS MAN SHALL NEVER DIE! Why do we say he drov•e himself too hard- This man who was not made to plod through life, As countless millions do who only look For evening and the sunset and sweet rest? Unquenchable, God-given fire was his.
