Inscribed with blooming lies:

"A faithful spouse, a parent kind;

Alas, too soon he went!"

But this is all they had in mind—

To get my last red cent.

Assembled here my Wife is, Helen Nation:

'Twas gasoline that caused the separation,

Which shows how very short the mortal lease is,—

I think 'twas lucky to have saved the pieces!

Here let me rest without a sigh or tear,
