A nineteenth-century sentiment card. See the American Antiquarian Society's description of Calling and Sentiment Cards.
A blight may come upon thy name,
And want and suffering dim thine eye,
But thou wilt find me still the same,
For love like mine can never die.
W. B. Farrah

Handwritten on the back of this sentiment card: "Loren & Persnelia Wright."
Try Again.
'Tis a lesson you should heed, Try again, try again;
If at first you don't succeed, Try again;
Then your courage should appear,
If you will but persevere,
You will conquer, never fear, Try again, try again.
