Transcript from original newspaper article: -
She died in beauty, like a rose.
Blown from its parent stem;
She died in beauty, like a pearl
Dropped from some diadem.

She died in beauty, like a lay
Along a moonlit lake;
She died in beauty, like the song
Of birds among the brake.

She died in beauty, like the snow
On flowers dissolved away;
She died in beauty, like a star
Lost on the brow of day.

She lives in glory, like night’s gems
Set round the silver moon.
She lived in Glory, like the Sun
A mid the blue of June.
