"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRS/TVUWXYZABCDEFGHIJK/ ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTVUWXYZABCDEFHIJKLM/ Religion should our thoughts engage/ Amidst our youthful bloom./ Twill fit us for declining age/ And for the awful tomb./ Oh may my heart by grace renewd/ Be my Redeemer's throne/ And be my stubborn will subdu'd/ His government to own./ Let lively hope my soul inspire/ Let warm affections rise./ And may I wait with strong desire/ To mount above the skies./ Mary Smith East Dereham/ aged 12 years December 4th 1822."
