Jesus permit thy gracious name to stand / As the first efforts of an infants hand / And while her fingers o'er this canvass move / Engage her tender heart to seek thy love. / With thy dear children let her share a par / t And write thy name thyself upon her heart. / / Hannah Crawford Jaques Aged 12 June 16 1830
