Inscription
Extract / / Yield to the Lord with simple heart / All that thou hast, and all thou art, / Renounce all strength, but strength divine, / And peace forever shall be thine. / Silence and thought the mind improve, / They kindle joy in pious hearts; / On them desends the mystic dove, / And every Christian grace imparts. / / Hannah Mendinhall / Weston, 1810
