- As those we love decay we die in / Part String after string is severed from / our heart Till length ends life at last but brea / thing clay without one is laid to fall away / Unhappy they who latest feel the blow / Condemned oer many a friend laid low / Led slowly on from partial death to death / Till dying all we can resign is breath / Wrought by Harriot Marston / Aged 11 years June 1st //
