- Extract / From thee is all that sooths the life of man / His high endeavour and his glad success / His strength to suffer and his will to serve. / But oh thou bounteous giver of all good / Thou art of all thy gifts thyself the crown / Give what thou canst without thee we are poor / And with thee rich take what thou wilt away. / Rebecca Conard / Plymouth B School / 1819 / Without the dew the flow'r must soon decay, / And with out virtue....beauty fleets away. / Hannah Wiliams Hannah Foulke
