Cross

East face

In memory of
Thomas Cross
died April 8, 1844.
Æ 31 yrs.
Brother thou most mild and lovely
Gentle as the summer breeze
Pleasant as the air of evening
When it flows among the trees.
Peaceful be thy silent slumber
Peaceful in the grave so low
Thou no more will join our number
Thou no more our songs shall know
Dearest brother thou hast left us
Here thy loss we deeply feel
But tis God that hath bereft us
He can all our sorrows heal
Yet again we hope to meet thee
When the day of life is fled
Then in heaven with joy to greet thee
Where no farewell tear is shed.
