In loving remembrance of William Hayward; born April 4th, 1850, died December 8th, 1874.
"Time, how short—Eternity, how long."
Reader, this silent grave contains
A much-loved son's remains;
Death like a frost has nipt his bloom,
And sent him early to the tomb;
In love he lived, in peace he died,
His life was craved, but God denied.
This stone is erected by his mother as a small token of love for him.
Also of Thomas Hayward, brother to the above; born October 26th, 1855, died June 8, 1876.
Had He asked us, well we know
We should cry, Oh! spare this blow;
Yea, with streaming tears should pray,
Lord we love him, let him stay.
