Headstone
272

A tree cries
Pools of water descend from my eyes
Over the departure of my endearing mother Mrs.
Rivkah Raisel the daughter of R. Yehudah
A woman struck down in the middle
of her life, alas a day of darkness
is engraved upon the tablet of my heart
And the monument hewn as a memorial
to bear witness the 28th day of the month of
Shevat in the year 5679 (1919)
May her soul be bound up in the bonds of life.
