This song could be to do with the women Virginia clemm who married, American writer, Edgar Allan Poe. Who was her cousin. Virginia was thirteen when she married Poe (27), relating to the lyrics 'I was a child', they are now dead 'now we're resting'. They were married twelve years from 1835-1847, this fits with 'for twelve short years we lived out of health and prosperous wealth'. The song mentions her 'dearest' being a writer and her being the heir of all his words also, clearly all lining up with the story of Virginia Elise clemm Poe. She was born in 1822 and died 1847 only living to the age of 25.
