In remembrance of Hannah, lamented
daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth Jordan of this parish, who died November 18th
1854 aged 22 years.
“My fragrant, blooming
flower hath drooped and fallen.
A base deceiver with his
hellish acts and lying tongue;
My peace hath slain and
all my family o’erwhelm’d with grief.”
With love’s sweet name
upon his demon lips.
With banns and promises
and flattering tales,
Her confidence he
gained, her ruin sealed.
Seduc’d, betray’d, her
tender heart he broke.
Her body to an early
tomb consign’d;
Her loving soul to
realms of bliss has fled.
