Notes
Within tree, verse by Stephens, "Animals", u.c to l.r., "Animals/ Little things that/ Run and [illeg.]/ And die in silence/ and despair;/ Little things that/ fight and fail. And fall on sea and/ earth and air;/ All trapped and/ frightened little things/ The mouse, the coney,/ hear our prayer:/ As we forgive those/ done to us,/ The lamb the linnet,/ and the harse:/ Forgive us all our/ trespasses,/ Little creatures/ everywhere./ Stephens".
