Nishatganj Cemetery, Lucknow

     Sacred To The Memory

                  of

MRS CECELIA JOSEPHINE D'ROZARIO

WHO EXPIRED ON 29TH JANUARY 1900

AFTER LEAVING AN IMPRESSION TO HER DISCONSOLATE HUSBAND AND SONS AND OTHER RELATIVES OF HER CHRISTIAN LIFE AND GOODNESS FOR THE PERIOD OF 50 YEARS

                         *  *  *

Hold short sweet rose have all thy beauties bee

An hour they bloomed and now no more are seen

So human grandeur fades and dies away

Beauty and wealth remain but for a day

But virtue remains for ever in the mind

In her alone true happiness we find

The perfume slays although the rose be dead

So virtue lives when every grace is fled

BLESSED ARE THE DEAD WHICH DIE IN THE LORD

THE REST FROM THEIR LABOURS AND THEIR

WORKS DO FOLLOW THEM.

(I think its very noticeable that most of the old graves are incomplete, crosses, angels and cherubs or some decoration has been stolen. Then, one might ask: How does it matter when not before long there will be no grave at all?)
