- Inscription
- I am often like the lonesome dove / That mourns its absent mate / From hill to hill from vale to vale / Its sorrows to relate / But canaans land is just before / Sweet spring is coming on / A few more beating winds and rains / And winter will be gone / (At the bottom): Mary Hallowell's Work * 1832 //
