The epitaph reads:

Too soon it seemed God called him home
and closed that bright and brief career,
but who can say he did not finish his appointed mission here.
S0  weep not o’er the grave of youth.
In unseen fields they labour still,
their earthly work complete,
they go some greater purpose to fulfil
