- Inscription
- See Israels gentle shepherd stand / With all engaging charms / Hark how he calls the tender lambs / And folds them in his arms / Permit them to approach he cries / Nor scorn their humble name / For twas to bless such souls as these / The lord of angels came. / Catharine Cooks Work Brierly hill School 1 8 1 2 //
