And reared a marble rare,
And chiseled on this sentence sweet

She mourned year and then was

And they chiseled on that stone
A single word, and now 1t reads
my grief cannot bear-alone."
But soon she wore her weeds again,
And they turned that stone about,
And on it traced this touching line,
my life's light has gone out
Not long she walked in darkness lone
Around that marble patch,
