- Inscription
- There is a calm, the poor in spirit know, / That softens sorrow, and that sweetens wo, / There is a peace, that dwells within the breast / When all without is stormy and distrest, / There is a light that gilds the darkest hour / When danger thicken - when troubles low'r / That calm to faith, and hope - love is given / That peace remains when all besides is riven / That light shines down to man direct from heaven / RELIGION, wanderer, only can bestow, / The all of happiness that's felt below, / To the mistrustful eye no God is seen, / No higher power appears to rule the scene, / Hence all is doubt, anxiety, and fear / (Note: From the book RELIGION / From the Search and other Poems by J. Edmeston, Jun. / H.H. Brown / Printer / Providence / 1819 ). (Stitched around the center bouquet): Set your affections on things above not on things on earth / (In the center): Life is short / (Large decorative swag with): Marina Ann Leavitt 1820 //
