Inscription
InLoving Memory of
WILLIAM
SON OF JOSIAH AND ANN UPWARD
WHO DIED NOVEMBER 23RD 1884
AGED 26 YEARS
HE BEING DEAD YET SPEAKETH.
DI I FORGET: OH NO
FOR MEMORYS GOLDEN CHAIN
SHALL BIND MY HEART TO THE HEART BELOW
TILL THEY MEET AND TOUCH AGAIN
EACH LINK IS STRONG AND BRIGHT
AND LOVE'S ELECTRIC FLAME
FLOWS FREELY DOWN, LIKE A RIVER OF LIGHT
TO THE WORLD FROM WHICH I CAME
THEN WHY SHOULD YOUR TEARS RUN DOWN
AND YOUR HEARTS BE SORELY RIVEN
FOR ANOTHER GEM IN THE SAVIOUR'S CROWN,
AND ANOTHER SOUL IN HEAVEN.
