- When wearied wretches sink to sleep / How heavenly soltier (soldier?) slumbers He / How sweet is death to those who weep / To those who weep and long to die / Youth like the spring will soon be gone / By fleeting time or conquering death / Your morning sun may set at noon / And leave you ever in the dark / / Charlotte Rice Aged 9 1825
