TO THE MEMORY OF

CAROLINE FITZGERALD

WHO DIED AUGUST THE 19TH 1840

THE LOVELY BUD SO YOUNG SO FAIR

CALLED HENCE BY EARLY DOOM

JUST CAME TO SHOW HOW SWEET A FLOWER

IN PARADISE WOULD BLOOM

ERE SIN COULD BLAST OR SORROW FADE

DEATH CAME WITH FRIENDLY CARE

THE OPENING BUD TO HEAVEN CONVEYD

AND BADE IT BLOSSOM THERE

OUR DARK AFFECTION  MIGHT HAVE....

THE VOICE OF GOD HAS CALLED THIS CHILD AWAY

SHORT PAIN, SHORT GRIEF DEAR BADE WERE THINE

NOW JOYS ETERNAL AND DIVINE
