What though in lonely grief we sigh
for forms beloved, no longer nigh?
Submissive still would we reply,
”Thy will be done.” |

| Harriet Elizabeth Moseley | — | 4 Jul 1900 | Daughter of
James & Susan Birdsong
Hand in hand when their life was may
Hand in hand when their hair grew gray
Hand in hand when the long night - tide
Gently covered them: side by side
Love is with them forever now |
