"Bud of Promise, bright and fair ..."

Headstone of 2-year-old Harriet Whytehead (d. 1837), churchyard of St Peter at the Waterfront, Ipswich

 

The epitaph (before it becomes illegible) reads:

 

"Bud of Promise, bright and fair

Thou hast left earth's chilling air

'Twere unkind to mourn thee gone

To adorn thy Saviour's throne ..."
