Died in Norwich Connecticut January th aged	A
	-
	-
Had I an artist's pencil I might sketch	B
Her as she was in her young matronhood	A
Graceful and dignified serene and fair	C
	-
I well remember when at Sabbath morn	D
With pious zeal the rural church she sought	A
Our rural church by rocks o'er canopied	A
Where with her stately husband and their group	E
Of younglings bright each in the accustom'd seat	A
How many a glance was toward her beauty bent	A
Admiringly	F
In those primeval days	G
The aristocracy that won respect	A
Sprang not from wealth alone but laid its base	H
In goodness and in virtue Thus she held	A
Her healthful influence in society	F
Without gainsaying voice	I
The polity	F
Of woman's realm sweet home those inner cares	J
And countless details that promote its peace	K
Prosperity and order were not deem'd	A
Beneath the highest then nor wholly left	A
To hireling hands This science she upheld	A
And with her circle of accomplishments	L
And charms so mingled it that all combined	A
Harmoniously	F
That energy and grace	H
So often deem'd the exclusive property	F
Of youth's fresh season or of vigorous prime	M
She brought to Age an unencumbered dower	N
Making the gift of being beautiful	O
Even beyond ninety years	P
And though the change	Q
Of mortal life dispers'd her cherish'd band	A
And some had gone their own fair nests to build	A
And some arisen to mansions in the skies	R
Alone yet undismay'd her post she kept	A
Guiding a household in the same good ways	G
Of order and of hospitality	F
	-
So when with mild decline the sunset came	S
Her powers still unimpair'd all willingly	F
As a confiding and obedient child	A
Goes to its father's house she went above	T
