- May virtue o?er our steps preside / [Possession] prove your constant bride / In Heavenly endils (angels) point the way / To blissful realms of perfect day. / An Acrostick / Love O Love thine origin / Of all human emotions the most sublime / Verily thou first came down from above / Ever thy name will be known for God is love / Wrought by / Adeline E Gobinson aged 12 / / (Note: an Acrostic is a poem where the first letter of each line spells a word or message. //
