Susannah B. Copeland Susquehanna Valley McConnelsburg, PA dated 1820 Susannah worked this beautiful large sampler with graphic imagery and poignant verses. Let spotless innocence and truth my every action guide And guard my unexperienc'd youth from vanity and pride Let fervent charity remain for ever in my brest O Let me feel another's pain In others joys be blest And when thy wisdom sees it best To fix my mortal day Let angel to eternal rest My trembling soul convay When we devote our youth to god Tis pleasing in his eyes A flower when offer'd in the bud Is no vain sacrifice She also included an image of a modest house with this charming verse. Grandure flies my humble roof Tho wealth is not my share Tho lonely is my little house Yet happiness is there Silk on linen:; 28 ½" x 21" framed.
