O gently close the eye / That loved to look on you / O seal the lip whose earliest sigh / Whose latest breath was true / With knots of sweetest flowers / Their winding sheet perfume / Aad (sp) wash their wounds with true love showers / And dress them for the tomb. / Margaret L. Francis's work in the year 1827 Germantown //
