    Died Dec 7 1844 | Sylvia French widow of | Francis French | æ 76
    I am come to view the silent shade
    Where thy loved form my mother is laid
    But cannot see thy lovely face
    Or once more take a last embrace
    Nor more hold thy parental charms
    Or once more clasp me in thy arms
    Me thinks I hear thy spirit say
    O children weep not o'er my clay.
