FARE THEE WELL

| E. F. S. Glover |
Out of this life I shall never take
Things of silver and gold I make;
All that I cherish and hoard away
After I leave, on this earth must stay.
Tho' I call it mine and boast its worth,
I must give it up when I leave this earth.
All that I gather, all that I keep,
I must leave behind when I fall asleep.
And I often wonder what I shall own
in that other life, when I pass alone.
Will the Great Judge say, when the task is through,
That my spirit has gathered some riches, too?
Or shall at last, it be mine to find
That all I worked for, I left behind?

Under
the wide and starry sky,
Dig the grave and let me lie.
Glad did I live and gladly die,
And I laid me down with a will.
This
be the verse you grave for me:
Here he lies where he longed to be;
Home is the sailor, home from sea,
And the hunter home from the hill.
(Robert Louis Stevenson, 1850-1894)

ReplyDeleteNice to hear from a "cousin"! Let me know if I can help with your Glover genealogy.
ReplyDeletehello im a glover from leeds westyorksire england been doing my family tree trying to trace how we are related to glovers in america but hit a brick wall would be good to know if related to amricans xx
ReplyDeleteI've also been looking through the branches of our Glover family tree for years with little info prior to their emigration to America. In fact, there are different, but possibly related, Glover families on both my mother and father's sides. If you use the "search" tool on my main page, you can read more about what I've discovered. Who knows? We might be cousins! (You may know better than me, but since "Glover" was a trade, it may have been a common name throughout England.)
ReplyDeleteGlover, your well written and descriptive adventures of Matthias Button is greatly appreciated. I am his 8th G-G-daughter...now researching his father, Thomas Button, Sr. born/died in Harrold Bedfordshire, England. Such a journey! God bless you in this adventure.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for all of your hard work. My father was adopted so I am painstakingly trying to put the pieces together (Thank God for DNA) and Hezekiah Hoar is showing up as my 9th great grandfather.
