✪"To the Memory of one who has passed Away"
(From Brett's Gazette of Jan. 31, 1863
"Thy labour o'er-thy hard work done;
The love of thousands thou hast won.
Thy manly form has passed away;
Thy sun has set ere close of day.
A sable curtain drawn around
Now tells us thou art under ground;
No more thy watchful, tender care
Which made our ills so light to bear.
Is ours - A higher place is thine!
Among the blessed thou dost shine.
Thy battle fought, thy laurels won,
Our Saviour says to thee "Well Done!"
"St. Leonards, Jan. 17, 1863" L.B.
This refers to the death of Mr. Cooper Gardiner. See pages 80 and 81.
