Inside the border, a central section contains a poem with several lines of text. The poem reads: "Let virtue heavenly aid your steps attend Through Life's perplexing scenes your constant Friend Intertwining hope will gently point the way And smooth the paths which leads to end of day." Above the poem, cursive text reads "A. M. S." and below the poem, cursive text reads "Evelina Hull" and "Aged 10 years old." The entire image is in black and white. The title of the sampler is Sampler by Evelina Hull.
