"Though dews are nightly on thy pillow shed, / From the pure font on nigh / Sleep! and the flowers will bloom above thy head, / And thy meek lustrous eye / Heed not the beauty all around thee spread."

Sleep on, dear companion. beneath the green shade / Where thy form in its last quiet slumber is laid; / Above thee the trees their dark foliage wave, / And the sweet little wildflower blooms on thy grave.

Sleep on! Thou art free from earth's treacherous snares, / Its burdensome thoughts and its wearisome cares; / The joys and pleasures of lifetime are o'er, / And grief and affliction can reach thee no more.

The Spring it was o'er and the low summer wind, / But breathed of the sorrow that burdened my mind, / When slowly and sadly they laid thee to rest, / And heaped the cold turf on my motionless breast.

Then the beautiful scenes of our dearly loved home / The paths where our feet were accustomed to roam, / Grew dark as the earth when the sun's rays depart, / And I felt that the Summer was o'er in my heart.

I feel it was hard thee so soon to call home, / And leave me alone o'er this wide world to roam; / But long as thy grave with the dews shall be wet / Thy memory, beloved one, I ne're shall forget.

For years thy loved form may repose in the earth, / And far may I roam from the land of my birth, / But the place of thy rest oft in dreams I 'll draw near, / And affections will still keep thy memory dear.

Sleep on, Sweet Mary, beneath the cold ground, / Thou art free from all sorrow while friends mourn around; / Sleep on then beloved one, in the cold grave sleep, / While silently for thee thy husband doth weep.
