Marks/Inscriptions: If we had known when last we lightly parted,
That during life our hands would clasp no more,
That each who said farewell so cheerful-hearted,
Would find the grief the future held in store, -
How different would have been the solemn parting
From that which only saw a brief adieu;
How would the tears of mutual sorrow, starting,
Have dimmed each fleeting moment that we knew.; Type of mark: Inscription
