Jesus permit thy gracious name to stand / As the first effort of an infants hand / And while her fingers oe'r the canvas move / Engage her tender heart to seek thy love / With thy dear children let her have a part / And write thy name thyself upon her heart // (At the bottom): Eliza Jane Sheppy / 1811 //
