My Autograph

Susanna Strickland Moodie 1803 (Bungay, River Waveney) – 1885 (Toronto)



What -- write my name!
            How vain the feeble trust,
            To be remembered
        When the hand is dust --
    Grieve rather that the talents freely given
    Were used for earth -- not treasured up for Heaven!
