The smaller bookmark reads: "May your birthday be happy May hope be with soft propitious ray, Be thine to fondly cheer Ne'er may the sunshine of this day Be clouded with a tear." In the centre of the text is an image of a purple lily and at the bottom of the ribbon is a purple/red/green bird on a branch with purple blossoms. See RELATED for other items found with this. |
