This book, by any yet unread,  
 I leave for you when I am dead,  
 That, being gone, here you may find  
 What was your living mother's mind.  
 Make use of what I leave in love,  
 And God shall bless you from above.
The Poems of Mrs. Anne Bradstreet 1612-1672: Together With Her Prose Remains (1897)
