the poem read at nicholas funeral

Are you speaking of this part?

Nicholas' picture is on his headstone and a few lines from the poem Wordsworth wrote about the six-year-old son of his friend, Samuel Coleridge:

"Thou art a dewdrop, which the morn brings forth,
Ill fitted to sustain unkindly shocks,
Or to be trailed along the soiling earth;
A gem that glitters while it lives,
And no forewarning gives;
But, at the touch of wrong, without a strife
Slips in a moment out of life."


You can find more of the story here, wonderfully written by his father.
