A LOVELY woman, like the eglantine
Blooming in arid plain,
In whom all gracious gifts combine,
Devoid of every stain—
Possessing soul as pure as snowy dove
That circles in the arching blue above.
Her heavenly gifts, like sparkling rainbow hues,
The bow of promise form,
Renewèd hope in doubting hearts infuse
To meet life's fiercest storm;
Her graces, like prismatic hues, unite
To form a perfect whole of spotless white.
