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;”
