“And He Died”

By Ada D. Wellman

“DEAD!” Such is the news that the press tells, to-day, of a person But yesterday deemed the most honored and happy of men; One who had attained the fulfilment of highest ambitions, His life a success, and new prospects still beckoning — then; Now — dead? Ah! the loftiest heights of our poor aspirations For influence, luxury, learning, for power or fame, But lead to the low-lying valley to which we all hasten, Where highest and humblest, all stations and ranks, are the same.
