of
MRS CECELIA JOSEPHINE D'ROZARIO

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.
