My grandmother showed it to me. It's the epitaph on my great-grandmother's brother's grave. He died in his infancy: The cup of life to his lips just prest, found the taste bitter and declined the rest. Averse then turning from the day, he softly sighed his infant soul away. It's so poignant.
Þæs ofereode, þisses swa mæg - that has passed, so may this.
