THE PARSON'S GRAVE
His tombstone tells a tale of woe --
The story of a saddened life --
"Here lies the Reverend Jonas Lowe,
The victim of a faithless wife."
And we who knew that parson dear,
Bemoan the wrecks Eve's daughters cause,
And having dropped the casual tear,
Still speculate, -- Whose wife it was?
