The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want. / He maketh me to lie down in green pastures. he / leadeth me beside the still waters. / He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths / of righteousness for his name's sake / Yea though I wakl through the valley of the / shadow of death I will fear no evil: for thou / art with me: thy rod and thy staff they comfort me / me. Thou preparest a table before me in the / presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my / head with oil : my cup runneth over. / Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all / the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house / of the Lord forever. / Harriet Talcott aged 12 yrs / Chatham CT //
