In this village [Cherry Valley, Otsego Co. NY] on the 16th inst. Mary Jane [Allen] only daughter of Henry Allen, aged 3 years.

Scarce half the circling year is told, / Since one sweet infant form was laid / In that embrace, so strong and cold, / Which binds in death the sister babe.

As kindred blossoms of the vine / May e'en from sadness win a smile, / So did those lovely babes entwine / Around the heart, and care beguile.

The tiny mouth, the dimpled cheek, / The roses fondly clustering there, / Those locks, that sparkling eye bespeak, / In every heart, affection's share.

E'en as the vision of a dream, / Too soft, too beautiful to stay; / As flowers that droop in morning's beam / Those cherub forms have died away. 

Though short their pathway to the tomb, / And low repose their silent dust; / Yet thence, angelic hands have borne / To God, a loved, a sacred trust.
