English poem
Written for the Monument of a young Lady lately deceased in the 13th year of her age
by Anonymous
The vernal hope of lengthen'd life is cropt, Th' opening blossom in the grave is dropt: Yet weep not parents o'er this mould'ring clay, But rest your comfort on the judgment day; For virgin innocence that knows no crime Shall bloom eternal in a heavenly clime.
