In the Churchyard at Tarrytown Annotated

Here lies the gentle humorist, who died
&nbsp In the bright Indian Summer of his fame!
&nbsp A simple stone, with but a date and name,
&nbsp Marks his secluded resting-place beside
The river that he loved and glorified.
&nbsp Here in the autumn of his days he came,
&nbsp But the dry leaves of life were all aflame
&nbsp With tints that brightened and were multiplied.
How sweet a life was his; how sweet a death!
&nbsp Living, to wing with mirth the weary hours,
&nbsp Or with romantic tales the heart to cheer;
Dying, to leave a memory like the breath
&nbsp Of summers full of sunshine and of showers,
&nbsp A grief and gladness in the atmosphere.
