Jane Caroline Reed Copy Book-Only

Here is a newspaper clipping that was in Jane's Copy Book:

Only

Only a woman's face,
In the dark night and cold,
But oh! the ghost of a vanish'd grace,
And the pitiful tale it told!

Wrapt in a ragged shawl
(Why was it not her shroud?)
It look'd as white as the moon at night,
Through a rift in a driving cloud.

Only a few poor pence,
And a few kind words addressing;
And all they brought was a kindly thought
And a poor lost woman's blessing.

Does anyone know who wrote this one?  I believe their initials were M.P.
