She is thinking in a thought bubble of different circumstances she seems to regret. The text on the front, "I was not ever thus nor prayed that Thou Shouldst lead me on. I loved to choose and see my path, But now, lead Thou me on. I loved the garish day and spite of fears, Pride ruled my will, Remember not past years."
