Inside right: white flowers over window and verse: "True Love. \ Around each fibre of my heart \ Sweet hop shall weave a spell \ And here, altho' we be apart, \ Thine image ever dwell, Tho' time with furrows stamp \ thy brow \ My love he cannot chill: \ I'll love thee as I love thee now, \ for aye, in good or ill. \ Copyright." Back: blue plowers over window and verse: "I love thee truly. \ When I am far away dost \ think I can forget \ The ever happy day, when you \ and I first met, \ In fanc thou art near me \ When breezes softly sigh \ Fond mem'ry wanders ever \ To happy days flown by \ Copyright".
