MIRIAM DEL BANCO; A MEMORIAL by ANONYMOUS

First Line: AND TO THAT MAGIC FAIRYLAND OF BEAUTY
Last Line: AND TRACE HER NAME UPON THE HEARTS OF MEN
Subject(s): "DEL BANCO, MIRIAM (1858-1931);"

And to that magic fairyland of beauty,
The land of dreamings and poetic lore
Where gleam her thoughts, like gems or dewy flowers,
Her pen will 'ope the portal nevermore;
Only the bloom once plucked and show'red upon us,
The scented sparkling blossoms of her pen,
Are woven, like immortelles on a tombstone
And trace her name upon the hearts of men.
