DIED:
December 11, 1867, Joseph Walter, son of W.S. and Georgiana Goodwin, aged 2 years,
9 months, and 11 days.
He died in beauty--like a rose
Blown from its parent stem;
He died in beauty--like a pearl
Dropt from some diadem.
He died in beauty--like a ray
Along a moonlit lake;
He died in beauty--like the song
Of birds among the brake.
He died in beauty--like the snow
On flowers dissolved away;
He died in beauty--like a star
Lost on the brow of day;
He lives in glory--like night's gems
Set round the silver moon;
He lives in glory--like the sun
Amid the blue of June.
