The following poem was written by his mother sometime after he died:15

Merlin
A little dream and yet so real
These little rose buds are
Sent down from above, with the Father's love
Entrusted to our care.

Once more Death's angel has visited our house.
And taken our baby away,
The one who has said, “Let the little ones come,”
Has taken our baby today.

Yet the blessed thought comes to us now
While our hearts are filled with pain
That we in patient submission bow
To our Father's will again.

To us for a purpose, he was sent
His mission is fulfilled,
For a few short months he was only lent
It was as our Father willed.

Oh, baby dear while we grieve here
Thou are happy and safe above
May thy little life to us so dear
It's influence never lose

Merlin our sunshine and our joy
Thou who brightened all our day
Thou art happier far with out alloy,
In the glory world away.
