STOP Christian passer-by—stop child of God, | |
| And read with gentle breast. Beneath this sod | |
| A poet lies, or that which once seemed he; | |
| Oh lift one thought in prayer for S. T. C. | |
| That he who many a year with toil of breath | 5 |
| Found death in life, may here find life in death! | |
| Mercy for praise—to be forgiven for fame | |
| He asked, and hoped through Christ. Do thou the same. | | | |
