- So may my follies with my childhood cease / So may my wisdom with my years increase, / So may my religion early warm my soul / Encourage actuate, and cheer the whole / May useful knowledge thus my mind extend / My manners polish and my actions mend / Improve my judgement, and my thoughts refine, / My wandering steps to wisdoms ways incline / Make every hour a critic on the past / And live each day as though it was my last. / Wrought by Mary Ann Millman aged 16, 1841 //
