RESURRECTION by HERBERT KAUFMAN

First Line: I SAW HER TO-NIGHT AS SHE PASSED IN THE CROWD
Last Line: THEN MEMORY SPAKE AND SANK BACK IN ITS SHROUD.
Subject(s): MEMORY;
I SAW her to-night as she passed in the crowd;
For a moment the past was forgot and I bowed,
And the mummy that once was a heart, moaned in pain,
And the soul that was dead writhed in anguish again;
Then Memory spake and sank back in its shroud.
