Inscription
Beneath this stone lies the body of
SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE
Born 21 October 1772. Died 25 July 1834
Stop, Christian passer-by!—Stop, child of God,
And read with gentle breast.
Beneath this sod A poet lies, or that which once seemed he.
O, lift one thought in prayer for S. T. C.;
That he who many a year with toil of breath
Found death in life, may here find life in death!
Mercy for praise—to be forgiven for fame
He asked, and hoped, through Christ.
Do thou the same!
Also SARAH the wife of the above.
who died 24 September 1845.
Also their nephew & son in law HENRY NELSON COLERIDGE
who died 26 January 1843
and his wife SARA who died 3 May 1852
and HERBERT COLERIDGE the son of the two last,
who died 23 April 1861.
These bodies were removed from the Old Graveyard Highgate
and reburied here 6 June 1961.
