Inscription
Jesus permit thy gracious name to stand / As the first effort of an infants hand / And while her fingers o'er this canvas move / Engage her tender heart to seek thy love / With thy dear children let her share a part / And write thy name thyself upon her heart / Lord give me wisdom to direct my way / I ask not riches nor length of days / Charlotte C.
