Design features alphabets at top, a central verse "The Grave: There is a calm for those who weep/ a reef for weary pilgrims found/ They softly lie and sweetly sleep/ Low in the ground. The cloud that wrecks the winter sky/ No more disturbs the sweet repose/ Than summer evening's latest sigh/ That shuts the rose."
