Like dew-drops, exhaled as they glisten; Like perfume, which dies soon as shed; Like melody, hushed while we listen, Is memory's dream of the dead. - Bernard Barton (1784-1849) Barton was known as the "Quaker poet". He was educated at a Quaker school in Ipswich, England. The recent deaths of her Grandmother and older brother are memorialized on the monuments at the bottom.
