- Jesus permit thy gracious name to stand / As the first efforts of a youthful hand / And while her fingers on the canvass move Engage her tender thoughts to seek thy love / With thy dear children let her share a part / And write thyself thy name upon her heart (At the bottom): Cordelia Pelton Aged 11 Years February 1 1182?
