If some day death should, smiling, turn to me But more than that. my love, remember this: And o'er my shoulders fold his sable cloak, Your happiness was heaven itself to me. You must not weep nor grieve for me. but see And I may never find a realm of bliss. My joy that all my earthly chains be broke. Less. turning. chance your smiling face to see.

I go to other fields. a fairer land. And happiness cannot be found alone: New vistas. wider visions meet my eye. So live your life. seek new friends. love the old; There will be other labors for my hand. And do not let your heart turn into stone. And new adventures 'neath that other sky, Nor let your love of laughter become cold.

No sighs nor tears that dissipate the soul Though I have often failed you in this land. Can build a lasting monument on earth. Know that I'll always guard you from above. For rather would I see my life work whole. Close by your side in spirit I will stand, • See you convert it to some lasting worth. For death can never be the death of love. 2 CHESS R EVIE W, D ECE MBER, 19441 ------CHESSDOM MOURNS DEATH OF FRANK J. MARSHALL
