IN MEMORY on MISS NELLIE
PENfCE.
'Tis hard TO break the tender cord.
When love has bound the heart:
IT'S hard. so hard, TO speak the word,
! Must we forever part?
Dearest loved one we have laid thee
In the peaceful graves embrace,
And thy memory Will be cherished
Till we meet thy Heavenly face.
Gone but not forgotten
