- Inscription
- As yet 'tis midnight, deep, The weary, clouds / Slow meeting mingle into solid gloom / Now while the drowsy world lies lost in sllep(sic)/ Let me associat with the serious Night / And contemplation her sedate compeer; / Let me shake off the intrusive cares of day, / And lay the meddling senses all aside / / Lydia Burrough / Chesterford School / 1814
