/ Grave on her monumental pile; / She won from vice, by virtue's smile, / Her dazzling crown, her sceptered throne, / Affection's wreath, a happy home;
/ The right to worship deep and pure, / To bless the orphan, feed the poor; / Last at the cross to mourn her Lord, / First at the tomb to hear his word;
/ To fold an angel's wings below; / And hover o'er the couch of woe; / To nurse the Bethlehem babe so sweet, / The right to sit at Jesus' feet;
/ To form the bud for bursting bloom, / The hoary head with joy to crown; / In short, the right to work and pray, / "To point to heaven and lead the way."
Lynn, Mass., _May 6, 1876_.
