IN MEMORIAM.
Wringing the tears from the hearts that loved her,Whispering still of the love she gave,Thrilling the soul of the lonely husbandBowed in his agony over her grave.Only the hand of the God who made usCan sweep from his bosom its awful gloom,Only His infinite love can everLighten the darkness that lies in the tomb.

Galveston, August, 1880.
