This beautiful epitaph is in Spring
Grove, at Cincinnati, on the monu-
ment Of Louise Kirby Piatt:
To thy dear memory, darling, and my own,
I build in grief this monumental stone.
All that it tells Of life in death is thine;
All that 10 tells of death in life is mine
For that which made thy purer spirit blest,
You dying, live TO find the life divine;
In anguish deep has brought me great unrest
=, living, die tin death shall make me thine
