A love poem written by her husband to her:
‘Tis far, far away, from her whom I love,
O'er meadows and lawns, I pensively rove;
Directing my course to some sweet flowing stream,
Where the thrushes and linnets in harmony sing.
In my lonely retreat, I imagine I hear,
When the thrush tunes her note, the voice of my Dear;
Recollecting the music, in one pleasant hour,
When she sang me the song of the G. S. Bower.
But alas! The next moment it seems to my mind
That we all are mortal, she may be entomb'd;
Her health and her beauty, her virtue and worth,
May repose in the dust, in the cold silent earth.
The thought that's so heavy, I cannot endure,
While writing of Polly, of Polly, my Dear;
My tears are fast dropping, I cannot refrain,
‘Till I know I've not courted my Polly in vain.
