Vignette-The Mountain Boy

A composer of song from Rome
North Pennsylvania he was grown;
Bliss dying on the Pacific Express-
Man of sorrows,what a name
Phillip's words found eternal acclaim

After reading your wonderful "Cameo" ...you have mastered the art of vignettes! Another example here with this tribute to Phillip Bliss!
