Inscription
Wrought by / Lydia Ann Temple / 1821 / I read his awful name, emblazoned high / With golden letters on th' illumin'd sky: / Nor less, the mystic characters I see / Wrought in each flower; inscrib'd on ev'ry tree; / In every leaf that trembles on the breeze, / I hear the voice of God among the trees. //
