Inscribed Jesus permit thy gracious name to stand / As the first effect of an infant hand / And while her fingers on the canvas move / Engage her tender heart to seek thy love / With thy dear children let her have a part / And write thy name thyself upon her heart.
Elizabeth Perkins Finished May 18 1829
