Ann Elizabeth Hall S Performance / In the 9th year of her age in the year of our Lord 1830 / / How happy is the youth who hears / Instructions warning voice / And who celestial wisdom makes / Her early only choice / According as her labours rise / So her rewards increase / Her ways are ways of pleasantness / And all her paths are peace
