I have been trying to locate an eulogy written for a daughte/child by Twain or Kipling? Any help would be appreciated!

Twain wrote the following for his daughter Olivia:

Warm summer sun,
shine brightly here,
Warm Southern wind,
blow softly here,
Green sod above,
lie light, lie light,
Good night, dear heart;
good night, good night.


It was actually adapted from a work by Robert Richardson called Annette. The Eulogy is engraved on Olivia's tombstone and Richardson is given credit for the words there as well.
