AD ASTRA: 48 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: ONE HAVE I MET-O RADIANT MEMORY!
Last Line: MAN REVERENCED ALL WOMANKIND ANEW.
Subject(s): MEMORY; RELATIONSHIPS;

'One have I met—O radiant memory!—
For whose dear friendship not in vain I sued,
Whose spirit's mute appeal first spoke to me
Of Woman's sweet, enduring fortitude,
Of sorrow never sanction'd to intrude,—
With every breath her gentle spirit drew
Man reverenced all womankind anew.
