- Inscription
- Lines with a Rose / Take this flower it is a sign / In its quick decay / Of the life that must be thine / Swiftly pass away / Gaze upon it is it not / Beauteous to behold / So will seem lifes early lot / Ere its cares unfold / / Look more closely on the flower / Holds it not a tear / So when round these blessing (on line above) shower / Sorrow will be near / To the rosebud from that tear / Life and strength are given / O that all our troubles hear / May point the way to Heaven / Mary A.
