Inscription
Capt. Orlando Linnell
Lost from on board
Schooner River Queen
Bound from Richmond Va.
To Providence R.I.
Oct. 1, 1853
Aged 30 years & 10 mo's
Rest loved one, rest beneath the billow's swell.
Where tongue ne'er spoke,where sunlight never fell;
Rest till the God who gave thee to the deep,
Rouse thee,triumphant from the long long sleep.
And you whose hearts are bleeding, who deplore,
That ye must see Orlando's face no more.
Weep- he was worthy of the purest grief.
Weep- in such sorrow ye shall find relief.
While o'er his doom, the bitter tear ye shed,
Memory shall trace the virtues of the dead.
These cannot die for you, for him they bloom
And scatter fragrance round his ocean tomb.
