And in its place to cherish love unfeigned,

Forgiveness and forgetfulness of wrongs,

No precepts but the perfect law of Christ,

No teacher but the blessed Son of God,

Could e’er instruct mankind.

C. P. Layard.

Here the lamented dead in dust shall lie,

Life’s lingering languors o’er, its labours done;

Where waving boughs, between the earth and sky,

Admit the farewell radiance of the sun.
