to the memory of
Mrs Polly
consort of
Rev. William Balch
Daughter of
Rev. Dr Wadsworth

Lov'd friend, farewell, go seek that peaceful shore
There ??? can reach, sorrows wound no more
Go share the joys, the words of life in parts
The vision promis'd to the pure in hearts
Our ??? will also cease, soon we'll remove
And meet thee in the paradise above.
