- Inscription
- Happy the child whose green unpractis'd years / The guiding hand of parent fondness rears / To rich instructions ample field removes / Prunes every fault and every worth improves. / Till the young mind unfolds each secret charm / With genius bright with cherished virtue warm / Like the Spring's boast the lovely plant shall rise / In grateful odors to the nurturing skies. / Wrought by Emily Prescott September 1, 1824
