I believe what you're referring to is the inscription on Susy's headstone:
Warm summer sun
Shine kindly here
Warm southern wind
blow gently here
Green sod above
Lie light, lie light
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.
This was written, not by Twain, but by an Australian poet, Robert
Richardson. This is described, with a photo of the stone, in Mark Twain in
Elmira, edited by Herbert Wisbey and Bob Jerome, published by the Mark
Twain Society.
