Anna Wilson Simmons [1863-1899], teacher, city missionary, and Methodist deaconess, was the author of poetry and other short pieces of a religious nature which were published both during her lifetime and posthumously in a variety of Christian periodicals. She lived in Missouri and Colorado and died in Patterson, N.J., and is mentioned in the Bibliography article of the Encyclopedia of the History of Missouri (1901) and in compilations of Missouri poetry, as well as in the Literature chapter of Wilbur Fiske Stone's A History of Colorado (1918). This is her only book. Nelse J. Scurlock, in her book Fishin' 'Long Old Ellum Creek, and Other Poems (1903) dedicated a poem to her as follows: IN MEMORIAM. TRIBUTE TO ANNA WILSON SIMMONS. Friend of my early years, confidante, guide!/ Strong without vanity, great without pride! /Good words thou hast spoken for mankind and me, /And fain would I write fitting praise now of thee./But high were the task, all too high for my pen—/The sphere of the sainted lies not in my ken;/And all I may do is to write as I feel/And lose my own sorrow in hope of thy weal/Altruist, thorough as Elsmere's feigned wife, /Life for weak mortals the zest of thy life;/ Poetess, pure as the Carys, whose lays/ Are whispers- 'heart whispers' --of prayer and of praise;/ Christian, whose practice and precept had zone/ Marked out by the light from Elohim's bright throne; /Woman, unsullied by womanly fault — /Speech can not praise thee, nor meter exalt! /Thy spirit was pure as the June morning dew,/And blithe as the lark in ethereal blue;/ Thy heart was the home of the graces that give /A higher existence to mortals that live; /Thy faith was a rapture, a vision that showed/The region of Beulah along thine own road;/ Thy hope, like a rainbow, was bright on the cloud, /Thy soul by dejection or doubt was not bowed, /Thy words were the truth all the world might believe, /Thy friendship — who ever once knew it deceive?/ Introspection had taught thee the way of the meek,/ Intuition directed thine aid for the weak, /And in the heart's sunshine full bright were thy years, /One summer of love that ennobles and cheers./ Truest of friendship and mildest reproof /— Warp of affection with charity's woof /— Insight of nature, with sympathy strong /For aiding the erring to right back from wrong /— Soul of the saint with the heart of the nurse /— Sustaining the better and lifting the worse —/ Those were the attributes thou didst possess, /Beyond common mortals, to comfort and bless/. Like night in the North when the solstitial glow/ Is faintly reflected by iceberg and snow,/ A trace of thee lingers — a precept, a tone, /A smile of rare kindness — to cheer me when lone, /And still shalt thou live thro' the eons to be, /A light for the upright, a strength ev'n to me,/ Tho' brokenly, mournfully, hearts murmur on, /In time with the falling tears — "Gone — she is gone!" /Beatified being! the steps thou hast trod /Were faithful as Enoch's and always with God. /We knew not thy measure of merit on earth, /Up There is the field for thy growth in soul worth. /We never may fathom inscrutable Will, /But Purpose is shaping each circumstance still, /And Heaven is richer by more than we know,/ While poorer are we who yet plod on below. /Farewell! — 'tis a mockery written for one /Who fared as a saint till her life's work was done — /But 'tis a relief for my sorrow's rapt spell — /Friend, truest and gentlest, farewell! and farewell.…
