On the back inside cover of the Bible is a printed paper with:
LINES
On the death of Liberta
Brickley, who died at the residence of her parents in
Austintown,
February 13, 1860; in her 4th year:
Sweet one beneath the vale:
‘Twill from our hearts ne’er perish,
Though time and death may fail.
In childhood thou was taken,
From this vain world of tears,
But thou’rt not forsaken
Though very few thy years.
Thy stature it was small,
Thy features they were bright,
They wisdom was withall
A river of delight.
Thy presence and its merits,
The voice with us not heard,
Are shining with the spirits
In reulms of light and word.
But then the dead will rise,
When a Gabr’els trump shall sound;
To yonder beauteous skies
And dwell with angels round.
Then why should we lament,
When this we know is true,
Why should we not repent,
And dwell with angels too.
Our voices then to mingle,
In one harmonious strain;
And sound the praises single,
Of our redeemer slain.
Thy father and thy mother
Will ever think of thee;
Thy sister and each brother,
“Till death their memories free.
Thy smiles so pleasant were
And ways so very pretty,
They all we yet remember,
Though thou art cold Liberta.
