Signed "Sarah Ellen Whitley Work 1847" needlepoint on fabric depicting a stitched verse surrounded by a border of flowering hearts around figures, animals, and crowns. The verse reads:
"My father in life he whas called a way
No longer cud he stay
Because it whas the saviour will
To call im hence a way
The loss of a father is much
But the loss of a mother is more
My father is gone to is rest
Where he will never return any more
And while he did live upon Earth
He unkind to his daughter did prove
And when he died he then forgot me
But he thought on the other he loved"
