Printed on back: "SCENES IN OUR VILLAGE. / EARLY MORNING - DRAWING WATER FROM THE WELL. / Man lives in cities, and believes it strange, / That still has wants and habits do not change. / Poor egotist! he deems not, save in name, / How constantly the world remains the same! / Man bakes his bread precisely as of yore, / Kills his own mutton at his cottage door, / And, as the patriarchs did - so legends tell, / At morning draws his water from the well."
