Inscription
Dear as thou art and justly dear,
Though we can but weep for thee,
This thought shall check the flowing tear
It is that thou art free;
Free from this world of toil and strife
From sickness, sin and pain;
Thy labours of this mortal life
Shall ne'er be felt again.
Thy passing spirit gently sped,
Sustained by Grace Divine;
Oh may such Grace on us be shed,
And make our end like thine.
