- Inscription
- The morning flowers display their sweets, / And gay their silken leaves unfold, / As careless of the noon side heats, / As fearless of the evening cold. / So blooms the human face devine, / When youth its pride of beauty shows, / Fairer than Spring the colours shine, / And sweeter than the virgin rose / 1 8 2 3 / Ann Badcock / Aged 14 years //
