Augusta Marion Regina Cross 10 yrs old died 1890

       In Sacred Memory
of
OUR DARLING (TOOTOO) AUGUSTA
MARION REGINA
THE FONDLY LOVED DAUGHTER OF
WILLIAM HARVEY & CAROLINE CROSS
BORN ON 31ST AUGUST 1880
DIED ON 10TH AUGUST 1890
*
THERE IS A REAPER WHOSE NAME IS DEATH,
AND WITH HIS SICKLE KEEN,
HE REAPS THE BEARDED GRAIN AT A BREATH,
AND THE FLOWERS THAT GROW BETWEEN.


AND THE MOTHER GAVE, IN TEARS AND PAIN,
THE FLOWERS SHE MOST DID LOVE;
SHE KNEW SHE SHOULD FIND THEM ALL AGAIN
IN THE FIELDS OF LIGHT ABOVE

OH NOT IN CRUELTY, NOT IN WRATH
THE REAPER CAME THAT DAY;
'T WAS AN ANGEL VISITED THE GREEN EARTH,
AND TOOK THE FLOWERS AWAY
(Nishatganj Cem., Lko)
