Autograph album of Mary Roff 1843
Inscription 6

[Drawing]

The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous
runneth into it and is safe. Prov. 18:10.

Not as the worldling bids farewell,
    While earthly wishes bound his view;
Whose but the Christian's tongue can tell
    The fulness [sic] of that word, Adieu?

Cling to the uncreated Friend,
    To Jesus the supremely true;
And Oh! thy welfare I commend
    To Him, while I pronounce, Adieu!

May these lines my dear Mrs. Roff,
sometimes remind you of
Your affectionate friend & classmate, Juliette [Blanding]
