A Sketch of the gravestone of James Hastings which would be at Penpont churchyard

 

The verse is an extract from 

"The Graves Of A Household"

by Felicia Dorothea Hemans

 

They grew in beauty, side by side,

They fill'd one home with glee;

Their graves are sever'd, far and wide,

By mount, and stream, and sea. 

 

The same fond mother bent at night

O'er each fair sleeping brow;

She had each folded flower in sight,

Where are those dreamers now? 

 

And parted thus they rest, who play'd

Beneath the same green tree;

Whose voices mingled as they pray'd

Around one parent knee.

 

They that with smiles lit up the hall,

And cheer'd with song the hearth,

Alas! for love, if thou wert all,

And nought beyond, oh earth.
