On The Death Of The Rev. Canon Jenkins, Vicar Of Aberdare

Title:     On The Death Of The Rev. Canon Jenkins, Vicar Of Aberdare
Author: J. C. Manning [More Titles by Manning]

If the great heart of Lifetime in unison beats
With Eternity's throb through Infinity's space,
Then our thoughts of thy goodness, which love oft repeats,
May vibrate in thy bosom, though lost be thy face.

Thy life was a martyrdom: noble the part
Of self-abnegation thou playd'st for the Poor;
Whose gratitude fixes thy name in each heart,
Where in Memory's shrine 'twill for ever endure.
