Excerpt from Genealogy and Biography of the Descendants of Walter Stewart of Scotland and of John Stewart: Who Came to America in 1718, and Settled in Londonderry, N. H
"The profit of my living long ago
I dedicated to the unloving dead,
Though all my service they shall never know
Whose world is vanished and their name unsaid.
For none remembers now the good, the ill
They did, the deeds they thought should last for aye;
But in the little room my voice can fill
They shall not be forgotten till I die.
So, in a lonely churchyard by the shore,
The sea winds sift the sand across the mounds
And those forgotten graves are found no more,
And no man knows the churchyard's holy bounds;
Till one comes by and stoops with reverent hands
To clear the graves of their encumbering sands."
