First Line: The tempest past
Last Line: "the least and last of all!"
Alternate Author Name(s): Father Tabb
Subject(s): Memory
The tempest past --
A home in ruin laid;
But lo! where last
The little children played
At hide-and-seek,
A footprint small
Pleads silently,
As if afraid to speak.
"Behold in me
A memory,
The least and last of all!"
