It shock'd me first to see the sun
Shine gladly o'er thy tomb;
To see the wild flowers o'er it run
In such luxuriant bloom.
Now I feel glad that they should keep
A bright sweet watch above thy sleep.


The Forgotten One from The Keepsake, 1831 [Probably refers to Letitia's little sister, Elizabeth] - The Vow of the Peacock (1835)
