Call tears into the strangers eye,
Oh, may the prospect of this tomb
Remind us, all live must die.

Here neath the pines he loved
So well
That naught could lure him from
Their grateful shade
He sleeps to wake elsewhere
For God hath said. Amen

AE 62
Pause, Reader, pause! & on thy heart
Record what’s here recorded.
Charity like the sun,
Shines on the humble cottage of the poor
With beams no less intense than what are felt
On domes of regal splendor
Not soon provoked, she easily forgives
And much she suffers, as she much believes.

Dea. Abiel Lovejoy

Therefore be ye also ready for in such
an hour as you think not, the Son of man cometh.
short is the longest day of life
And soon its prospect ends
Yet on that days uncertain date
Eternity depends.
