Beside the stream where Heavenly waters flow.

As ceaseless round a jarring world they roll
Still find them happy and consenting spring
Sheds here own rosy garland on their heads
Till evening comes at last serene and mild

Enamored more as remembrance swells
With many a proof of recollected love
Together down they sink in social sleep
Together freed their gentle spirits fly
To scenes where love and bliss immortal reign.

She is not here. 'Tis but her veil of clay
That moulders into dust beneath this stone
Mary herself in ralms of fadeless glory
Has put a robe of fadeless glory on
This monumental urn is not designed
To tell of beauties withering in the tomb
Her brightest charms were centered in a mind
Which still prevail and will forever bloom
Her conscious soul
Allied to angels hails the glorious change
And joins the blest societies above
In all the freshness of imortal youth
There is a world of bliss hereafter else
Why are the bad above the good beneath
The green grass of the grave.

When silent death thy suffering clos'd
No pain nor anguish interven'd
But every feature seemd compos'd
Then rest in peace this hallowd spot
Thy dust shall never be forgot
Wile oft affection's tear shall lave
Upon they low and silent grave.
