On the marble monument of Emily Georgianna, Countess of Winchilsea

I
When the knell ring for the dying 
Soundeth for me
And my corse colding is lying
Neath the green tree



II
When the turf strangers are heaping
Covers my breast
Come not to gaze on my weeping
I am at rest

III
All my life coldly & sadly
The days have gone by
I who dreamed wildly and madly
Am happy to die

IV
Long since my heart has been breaking
It's pain is past
A time has been set to it's aching
Peace comes at last.
-E.G.W.&N.
