Opis: Crowned in Palm-Land - Nassau Robert Hamill

Excerpt from Crowned in Palm-Land: A Story of African Mission Life

"Though they smile in vain for what once was ours,
They are love's last gift, - bring ye flowers, pale flowers!"

It is far away, - that grave.

Yet, looking across these brown November fields to-day, it seems near. As if I could touch it. As I did when, with two-year-old baby Charley's toddling steps at my side, I took - at his wish to "go mamma" - that sunset walk before each day's tropic twilight fell, and his little hands with mine gathered the white daisy-like flowers that humbly grew in the coarse, white sand, and laid them on her grave.

Only white flowers then. Gaudy tints hung from vine and branch over the path. They were not chosen. Their odors, like tuberoses, were too voluptuous for loneliness. Only white flowers and green grasses then.
