SACRED
To the Memory
Of
George Harral Parks,
Son of
The Rev. Lucan D. and Mary Oarks.
Who died at Walterboro,
on the 10th of October 1848,
Aged 32 Years and 11 Days.
"Blessed are the dead, that die in the Lord."
He's gone sure we need not mourn,
Our loss to him is gain.
He's gone and never shall return,
We breathe that wish in vain.
I would not call his spirit down.
From that bright world of bliss.
To visit scenes of woe again
No dwell in happiness
And we that loved thee so below,
Will try to follow thee,
[That] where thou art we too may go.
And spend Eternity.
