Farewell to Thee! But not farewell -
To all my fondest thoughts of Thee;
Within my heart they still shall dwell
And they shall cheer and comfort me

Life seems more sweet that Thou didst live
And men more true that Thou wert one;
Nothing is lost that Thou didst give
Nothing destroyed that Thou hast done
(Anne Bronte)
My dear father was born this day, 93 years ago, in Allahabad.
