- How blest the maid who circling years improve / Her god the object of her warmest love / Whose useful hours successive as they glide / The book the Needle and the Pen divide / Who sees her parents heart exult with joy / And the fond tear stands sparkling in their eye. / Avis Harris her sampl / er made in the 15 year / of her age //
