Garrett W. McQuiddy Poem, 1897
July 24th 1897
Anderson, Tenn.
We parted ne'er to meet again,/One sultry night in May;/And thoughts of that bitter end,/Will haunt us till the judgement day.
Had she but known the grief and pain/Her cruel words alone could give,/She would have asked me to remain,/And at her side forever more to live.
'Twas pride alone that closed my lips,/From offering words of joy and love;/And still upon my heart she sits/Like him who reigns in peace above.
Composed by; Garrett W. McQuiddy
Dardanelle, Ark.
