Click Here To Edit On Mrs Chas Askin's Death
The sores of life's spring were in her cheek
And life's young gaiety played around her heart,
She was as prudent as old age – as meek
As infancy & chose the better part
And as a mother & a wife she bore
Her head pre-eminent – & friends oft talked
Of her mild virtues as they homewards walked
And then she died; – but not till she had set
Her house in holiest order – 'Twas to her
A daily business – ever ready – yet
To leave her husband – children – all alone –
That pang was lightened by the Eternal one
For she had been his constant worshiper.
