Could give me comfort. Well she knew to bear

Life’s adverse scenes with calm, undaunted mind,

And placid resignation. Grace divine

Illumed her soul, and stamp’d its features there.


The best of friends! Oh, how my bleeding heart

Recalls her tender love! Of self unmindful,

For me she seemed to live; forever kind.

Forever studious to promote my good.

“She was my guide, my friend, my earthly all;”
