In loving memory of
Thomas Vate Benyon
Late Captain 4th Hussars
who departed this life
June 28th 1893
Aged 53 years
This tablet was erected
in affectionate remembrance
by his nephews

Passing away, saith my Soul, passing away:
With its burden of fear and hope, of labour and play,
Hearken what the past doth witness and say:
Rust in thy gold, a moth is in thine array,
A canker is in thy bud, thy leaf must decay.
At midnight, at cockcrow, at morning, one certain day
Lo, the Bridegroom shall come and shall not delay:
Watch thou and pray.
Then I answer’d: Yea.
Christina Rossetti
