JOSEPH A. HOWELLS, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Stone, upon which with hands of boy and man
Last Line: There needs no room for blame: blame there was none.
Alternate Author Name(s): Howells, W. D.
Subject(s): Brothers; Praise; Half-brothers


Stone, upon which with hands of boy and man
He framed the history of his time until,
Week after week the varying record ran
To its half-centuried tale of well and ill.

Remember now how true through all those days
He was: friend, brother, husband, father, son;
Fill the whole limit of your space with praise;
There needs no room for blame: blame there was none.
