Jane was blooming, young and gay
But on this Earth she could not stay
The flower is nipped, the bloom is fled
Her body moulders with the dead
Her soul was washed in Jesus's blood
She died triumphing in her God
Epitaph on the grave of Jane Jewitt of Ebchester, Co Durham,
died 11/2/1825 aged 16 months
