- Inscription
- Oh may our follies like the falling trees / Be stripped ev'ry leaf by autumn's wind / May ev'ry branch of vice embrace the breeze / And nothing leave but virtue's fruit behind / Then when old age life's winter shall appear / In conscious hope all future ills we'll brave / With fortitud our disillusion bear / And sink forgotten in the silent grave. / Margaret Doyle
