A gift from thy sister – my dear boy

‘Tis the true source of happiness, peace, and joy.

May its beautiful precepts thy footsteps guide

And keep thee through life on virtue’s side/

This Book, imparted by a siters tears,
May it speak to thy heart in after years;

And when she rests ‘neath the lowly sod.

May I trach thee to put thy trust in God.

May thine, beloved, be a blessed lot- And oh, may the giver be never forgot!
