(MARY H.)

THAT "Sacred to the Memory" / Is clearly carven there I own, / And all may think that on the stone / The words have been inscribed by me / In bare conventionality.

They know not and will never know / That my full script is not confined / To that stone space, but stands deep lined / Upon the landscape high and low / Wherein she made such worthy show.
