Trying to find the context or derivation for the following quote (sorry it
appears a bit morbid, but the attorney insists she needs to find some info
on it:

"If I should die and leave you here awhile,
Be not like others, soon undone, who keep
Long vigil by the silent dust and weep.
For my sake turn again to life and smile,
Nerving thy heart and trembling hand to do
Something to comfort weaker hearts than thine.
Complete these dear, unfinished tasks of mine
And I, perchance, may therein comfort you."

Any assistance you could provide would be greatly appreciated...TIA
