Stone No.1200
Inscription.
Erected
By DAVID SMYTH
mason Hawkhill in memory
of his son WILLIAM
who died 22 September 1804
aged 3 years
Fair was the promise of that flowers,
But short alas! its destined hour,
And might at once the opening bud,
But the rise a country o'er whose plains,
Eternal spring unfading reigns;
There Jesus all his glory wears,
And God's eternal throne appears.
Claimant: Heirs of David Smith, Cowgate
