The text is presented as written. Line breaks are preserved from the archived source.
For five and twenty years, she wrote;
Each year’s work better than the last,
Far from New Zealand’s green dales,
She wrote tales of her childhood days;
The vow she took on her brother’s death,
She strove to fulfil till her last breath;
Alas! For the world has lost her far too soon,
Lost one, whose works shall never fade.
