And nestled CO.'S on the hill.
And heard the habtling OF the rilj.

And modest hid its form from view
Beneath the dropping willow shade.

Who merry ramblci 10 and fro,

And standing in the twilight gloom,
We pause before Miss Martin tomb:

A grateful tears t,dim the eve.
In the long lapse Of fAture wear.
Affection here shall shed her tears,
And ViFius pause To greet her ChJ'a,
