EPITAPH ON THE UNMATED.

No chosen spot of ground she called her own.

In pilgrim guise o’er earth she wandered on;

Yet always in her path some flowers were strown.

No dear ones were her own peculiar care,

So was her bounty free as heaven’s air;

For every claim she had enough to spare.

And, loving more her heart to give than lend,

Though oft deceived in many a trusted friend,

She hoped, believed, and trusted to the end.
