WRITTEN IN THE MEMOIRS OF ELIZABETH SMITH.

O thou! whose pure, exalted mind,

Lives in this record, fair and bright;

O thou! whose blameless life combined

Soft female charms, and grace refined,

With science and with light!

Celestial maid! whose spirit soar’d

Beyond this vale of tears—

Whose clear, enlighten’d eye explored

The lore of years!
