The poor will cherish his memory, The widow and the fatherless shall call him blessed.

His morals pure, in every action just,
A husband dear, and as a parent kind; As such he lies lamented in the dust.
While weeping friends bend d'er the silent tomb,
Recount his virtues and his loss deplore,
Faith's piercing eye darts through the dreary gloom,
And hails him bless'd where tears shall flow no more.
