INSCRIPTIONS.
ON A SUN-DIAL.
FOR DR. HENRY I. BOWDITCH.
With warning hand I mark Time's rapid flightFrom life's glad morning to its solemn night;
Yet, through the dear God's love, I also show
There 's Light above me by the Shade below.
1879.

ON A FOUNTAIN.
FOR DOROTHEA L. DIX.
Stranger and traveller,Drink freely and bestow
A kindly thought on her
Who bade this fountain flow,
Yet hath no other claim
Than as the minister
Of blessing in God's name.
Drink, and in His peace go!
1879.
