GEORGE AUGUSTUS CLOUGH a native of Liverpool Died suddenly of Stranger's fever Novr. 5th. 1843. Aged 22.
Of all thy kindred at thy dying day Were none to speed thee on thy solemn way; Yet ever lives distinct and deeply dear Their sight with them of this thy corner here; Each heart so oft hath come and sought and seen That Ocean space hath shrunk to naught between, And more their own seems now the stranger's shore Than when with thee they dwelt on it before.
Since God doth early break the golden bowl, And loose the silver cord that links the soul To earth, His will be done. Oh, may he rise A chosen vessel to a heavenly prize.
[The first eight lines of this inscription were written by the English poet, Arthur Hugh Clough, and his eldest brother, Charles, wrote the last four. Both were brothers of George Augustus. The Cloughs had lived in Charleston many years be- fore, but had returned to England.]
