| Here lies we say from care released | N |
| A faithful furry friendly beast | N |
| Responsive to the lightest word | N |
| About these walks her purr was heard | N |
| Love she received for much she earned | N |
| And much in kindness she returned | N |
| Wherefore her comrades go not by | O |
| Her little grave without a sigh | O |
