- Inscription
- Jesus permit thy gracious name to stand. / As the first efforts of an infants hand. / And while her fingers oer this canvas move. / Engage her tender heart to seek thy love. / With thy dear children let her share apart, / And write thy name thy self upon her heart. / Then when the last sad morn of life shall come. / May angels waft her to that heavenly home. / The eternal bounty of thy cross to share, / And triumph in her dear Redeemer there. / Louisa Byett / 1819 //
