- Clarissa Ward Was born Oct 15th 1795 / / A comely sight indeed it is to see / A world of blossoms on an apple tree / Yet far more comely would the tree appear / If all its dainty blooms young apples were / / But how much more might one upon it see / ??????????? / But most of all in beauty it would abound / If every one should then be duty bound. / CLARISSA WARD's WORK MARCH 26th 1806
