  • Notes 
    • In Affectionate Remembrance of /Richard Milner, of Wellesley, Who died on the 23rd day of November, 1889 Aged 69 years

      Farewell, dear friends, my life is past,
      May you and I unite at last;
      A husband dead, beloved and dear,
      And nature weeps the tender tear.

      He, slow and so'emn moves along,
      Weeping kindred, gazing throng,
      Mourn not for me, nor sorrow take,
      But keep this token for my sake.


      On a separate card, assumed to go with this:

      Peaceful to thy silent slumbers,
      Peaceful in the grave so low,
      Thou no more wilt join our numbers,
      Thou no more our songs shalt know;
      Yet again we hope to meet thee
      When the day of life is fled,
      There is Heaven with joy to greet thee
      Where no farewell tear is shed.
