Inscription
(At top): O may we number our days / That we apply to wisdom ways: / Knowing how swift our moments fly. / And that both old an young must die. / Let us prepare our God to meet / And work while it is called today (?) / Then shall our souls with gladness rest / The call that summons us away. / (At bottom): Cecelia Rebecca Sener'S work January 30 _ _ _ _ _ (illegible)
