Mrs. Daisy Young Maxfield of Beaver Dies
So live that when thy summons comes to join
The unnumerable caravan, which moves.
To that mysterious realm, where each shall take
His chamber in the silent halls of death,
Thou go not, like the quarry slave at night,
Scourged to his dungeon, but sustained and soothed
By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave,
Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.------------
