O what were all my sufferings here
If, Lord, thou count me meet;
With that enraptur’d host to appear
And worship at thy feet.

Levi Holden. 1806
Sacred to the memory of Thomas Holden, oldest son of Levi and Hannah

1779, and departed this life 20th day of May, 1820, after a very
protracted and severe illness. Aged 40 years, 8 mo. and 15 days.
His heart is no longer the seat
Of trouble and torturing pain;
It ceases to flutter and beat,
It never shall flutter again.
The lids that he seldom could close,
By anguish forbidden to sleep,
Sealed up in the sweetest repose,
Have strangely forgotten to weep.
His soul has now taken its flight
To mansions of glory above,
To mingle with angels of light,
And dwell in the Kingdom of love.
L. H. In memory of Levi Holden, son of Thomas and Anne Holden, who
was born in Massachusetts August 19th, 1799. Drowned 19th July,
1806.
When Christ, who is our Life, shall appear,
Then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
O grave where is thy sting,
O death where is thy victory.
