Explore "Lines on the Death of a Farmer's Wife" by James McIntyre on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
This good woman when in this life, / She was kind mother and good wife, / And managed her household with care, / She and her husband happy pair.
And her name it will long be praised / By the large family she has raised, / She laid up treasures in the skies, / And now enjoys the Heavenly prize.
She rose each morn with happy smile, / And ardent all the day did toil, / For work it to her had a charm, / And busy was each hand and arm.
