Stone No.1319
Inscription. |
1814. Erected by David Watson, Merchant, Tailor in Dundee, in memory of his father who died 4th May 1807, aged 46 years; and three brothers and three sisters who are all interred here. And also his son Henry who died the 3rd May 1817, aged one years. What is wretched man, Jehovah ? Earthly man of woman born; Few of days and full of sorrow, floating as the dew of morn. Vain are all his hopes and wishes, As a dream he glides away; Death at once his beauty crushes, And returns unto the clay.
