2nd Samuel XII. 23
............................
I CANNOT CLASP THY TENDER HAND
THY VOICE I CANNOT HEAR.
YET, IN MY DREAMS I SEE THY FACE
SHINE BRIGHT ME(?) STAR-LIGHT BRIGHT
THOUGH CLOUDS MAY HIDE FROM ME THY SPHERE
BUT STILL THE LINK DIVINE
THO THOU ART THERE AND I AM HERE
WILL BIND MY HEART TO THINE.
(Lawrence Terrace, Lucknow had a couple Jem and Nellie Monks. Jem, who
 retired from  the railway, must  have passed on in the 1970's and
Nellie (Lumsden) in  the 1980's. Cannot say whether there was a connection
 to John Henry Monks. Old man Lumsden, a retired civil engineer, also died at LT)
