| The world seems drearier when the good depart | B |
| The just the truthful such as never made | C |
| Self their chief aim nor strove with glozing words | D |
| To counterfeit a love they never felt | E |
| But steadfast and serene to Friendship gave | F |
| Its sacred scope and ne'er from Duty shrank | G |
| Though sternest toil and care environ it | H |
| These loving others better than themselves | I |
| Fulfill the gospel rule and taste a bliss | J |
| While here below unknown to selfish souls | K |
| And when they die must find the clime where dwells | L |
| A God of truth as tend the kindred streams | M |
| To their absorbing ocean | N |
| Such was she | A |
| Who left us yesterday Her speaking smile | O |
| Her earnest footstep hastening to give aid | C |
| Or sympathy her ready hand well skill'd | P |
| In all that appertains to Woman's sphere | Q |
| Her large heart pouring life o'er every deed | R |
| And her warm interchange of social joy | S |
| Stay with us as a picture | T |
| There we oft | U |
| Musing shall contemplate each lineament | U |
| With mournful tenderness through gushing tears | V |
| That tell our loss and her unmeasured gain | W |
