      In loving remembrance of my dear son, Patrick Solon Bassett, who
      passed away Sept. 1, 1923.
      Dearest son, you have left us here,
      Thy loss we deeply feel;
      But ‘tis God who has bereft us, and
      Will our sorrows heal.
      Day by day, oh, how I miss you,
      Words would vain my loss to tell,
      But in heaven I hope to meet you,
      Never more to say farewell.
