Dedication

Go, little book, with many a prayer

Go on thy pinions light as air

The story and the life portray

Of her who sends thee forth today

Go, little book, God’s goodness tell

Whose praise her soul enraptured sings

Who gave the harp she loves so well

And in her childhood tuned the strings

Go, little book, her years recall

With countless friends so richly blest

She murmurs not whate’er befall

But feels the power of perfect rest

Go, little book, should some lone heart

Forget in thee one throb of pain

Shouldst thou but play this humble part

Thy author has not toiled in vain
