\title{His light still sings}
\poemdedication{in memoriam Chris Rutter}

\stanza*
Too soon, too soon his flame was quenched, \\
Too soon his arc brought low, \\
From you tears torn, from him life wrenched \\
By senseless, random blow. \\

\stanza*
Mourn, mourn the passing of his star, \\
Mourn, yet do not despair; \\
His sphere of light still spreads afar, \\
His voice still beats the air \\
In song his dying cannot mar, \\
Only more widely share. \\
