The Living Dead.
What shall we do with our dead?
The dead who have not died
Who meet us still in the very paths
Where they once walked by our side,
Not those that we love and mourn,
At rest on a distant shore,
But the lost yet living women
men
Whom we loved and love no more,
There are shroud and flower and stone
To hide the dead from olir sight,
But these are ghosts that will not be
laid
They come "twixt us and the light;
And the heaven loses its blue,
And the rose has worius at the core,
Because of the living women and men
Whom we loved and love no more,
-Edith Bigelow, in the Critic.

“Good news?" said Clover, brighten
