Inside: image of church in countryside with "O Tell me how to woo thee love, He sang and wandered by; 'My queen thou art, O dearest heart, No other love have I.' She softly laughed, he turned his head, She wispered soft and low: 'If so you love me,' sweetheart said, 'Why don't you tell me so?'" On back, "Edna Crockett."
