The text is printed in Gothic script in black ink on cream paper with a pink, blue, and white floral cluster printed at the center top. Some of the text is printed on top of the flowers. The quote reads: "When shadows fall athwart thy path / 'Tis God who passes by: / Bow down in peace and praise and pray, / And even while you sigh / Remember this: - Each sorrow is a shadow sweet / That tells how near Christ's Nailed Feet / Are walking by thy side. / Then let thy soul confide." The reverse is blank.
