Here lies the body of Mary Ann Lowder.

She burst while drinking a seidlitz powder,

Called from this world, to her heavenly rest,

She should have waited till it effervesced.


IF I SHOULD DIE TONIGHT.

If I should die to-night

And you should come to my cold corpse and kneel

Clasping my bier to show the grief you feel,

I say, if I should die to-night
