KEDDY'S KORNER

REMEMBERANCE PAGE Click above to hear Greensleeves

I would like to dedicate this page to all the Keddy's who lost their life due to disasters, accidents, wars, illness at an early age and those lost at sea.

THE BETTER LAND

I hear thee speak of the better land, Thou call'st its children a happy band; Mother ! oh, where is that radiant shore? Shall we not seek it, and weep no more? Is it where the flower of the orange blows, and the fire-flies glance through the myrtle boughs? Not there; not there, my child. Is it where the feathery palm-trees rise, And the date grows ripe under sunny skies? Or midst the green islands of glittering seas, Where fragrant forests perfume the breeze, And strange bright birds on their starry wings Bear the rich hues of all glorious things? Not there; not there, my child. Is it far away in some region old, Where the rivers wander over sands of gold? Where the burning rays of the ruby shine, And the diamond lights up the secret mine, And the pearl gleams forth from the coral strand - Is it there, sweet mother, that better land? Not there; not there, my child. I hath not seen it, my gentle boy, Earth hath not heard its deep songs of joy; Dreams cannot picture a world so fair, Sorrow and death may not enter there; Time does not breathe on its fadeless bloom; Far beyond the clouds, and beyond the tomb, It is there; it is there, my child.
