with words wrapped around:

The Lily Should the Emblem be
of That Pure Love I feel for thee.

 

 

 

 

Morn impearl
thy leaves with dews;
Evening lend them
rosy hues,
Morn with snow white
splendour bless
Night with glow worm
jewels dress,
Thus fulfil
thy summer day,
Spring, and flourish and
decay;
Live a life
of fragrance - then
Disappear -
to rise again.

with letters interspersed:
TRUE
LOVE

Signed: "T.STEVENS COVENTRY" on back at pointed end:

Both Godden and Michael Darby record this title, and it is assumed they are referring to the ordinary bookmark above.

There also exists a previously un-recorded similar bookmark, that differs from the one above in that it has stylised leaves at the very top, and also has two verses with a pattern between. This bookmark is now recorded on this site as sb625.
