The monumental plaque (see also Photo)
In Memory of
who died September 17th: 1831,
Aged 42 Years.
Ye guardian angels who surround the just,
Preserve each atom of this silent dust;
Here unmolested may it sweetly sleep,
While I surviving only live to weep;
To weep inglorious thought' I'll rather stay
To wait and long for that approaching day,
When our remains shall in one grave unite,
And spirits greet with infinite delight.
GEORGE GREEN Esq'r of SOUTH SKIRLAUGH,
who died September 17th: 1831,
Aged 42 Years.
Ye guardian angels who surround the just,
Preserve each atom of this silent dust;
Here unmolested may it sweetly sleep,
While I surviving only live to weep;
To weep inglorious thought' I'll rather stay
To wait and long for that approaching day,
When our remains shall in one grave unite,
And spirits greet with infinite delight.
