Warm summer sun, shine kindly here;
Warm southern wind, blow softly here;
Green sod above, lie light, lie light —
Good-night, dear heart, good-night, good-night.


Epitaph for Mark Twain's daughter, Olivia Susan Clemens (1896). It is actually a slight adaptation of the poem "Annette" by Robert Richardson
