On thy clear brow
Never was care one fleeting shade to cast,
And thy calm days in brightness were to flow
A holy stream, untroubled to the last.
Farewell they life hath left surviving love
A wealth of records and sweet feelings given
From sorrows heart the faintness to remove
By whispers breathing less of earth than heaven
This rests thy spirit, still on those with whom
They step the path of joyous duty trod
Bidding them make alter of thy tomb
Where chastened thought may offer praise of he.

Sacred to the memory of
Leah H. Harrell
Consort of Abner Harrell
of Hertford County
who departed this life
September 28, 1833
Aged 30 years, 8 months & 1 days
"She died in full assurance of a blissful immortality"
"Friendship is the charm that binds,
With everlasting tie,
Those rarely found congenial minds,
That lov'd so tenderly,
Although it is but seldom seen,
It's visits few and far between,
Yet still its in the world I ween,
A spirit 'tis of holy birth,
To mortals given,
To sooth their sorrows on the earth,
And lead to rest in heaven,
Flowers that Autmun cannot blight,
That keep them sweet, unwithered, bright,
Down to life's last cold wintry night,
Nay, sister, e'en beyond the tomb,
In heavenly lands,
Shall not friends look for friends to come,
And there join hands?
Oh yes! our heaven has friendships too,
Stronger than here we ever knew,
Eternal, unaltoy'd, and true."
