" Dutchess "
Fair Lady At Silmaril
April 8, 1992      ~      February 29, 2000

Dutchess, You have been our life,
The ocean to the river of our thoughts,
Which terminates all.

Be thou the rainbow to the storms of life,
The evening beam that smiles the clouds away,
And tints tomorrow with prophetic ray !

                                                                                               Paraphrased from  Lord Byron
