Mrs. E. Cohrs Brown

Tread not the earth where lies her youthful form,

Grow violets, sweet violets, above that cherished mound;

Bid zephyrs softly whisper in accents sweet and low,

Not dead, not lost, but only gone a little while before.

So, I, though bowed in anguish, yield her spirit to its God,

And meekly clasp the smiting hand, and kiss the chast’ning rod;

May I, when time is over, greet thee on the other shore,

To live and love for aye and aye, where partings are no more.
