Inside on bottom:-

"The sailor tost in storm'y seas,

Though far his bark may roam,

Still hears a voice in every breeze,

That wakens thoughts of home;

He thinks upon his distant friends,

His wife, his humble cot,

And from his inmost heart ascends,

The prayer - Forget me not."

Where two hearts in union meet,

But the pain of separation

Mingles bitter with the Sweet."
