A ray of sunlight flutters in my heart,
Dear Ann, whenever happy thoughts of you
Come into mind; and though we are apart,
I feel your presence, radiant and true.
On-rushing years will never melt away
The vision that my heart delights to keep;
The quiet laughter in your eyes, the gay
Exultant spirit, dreams that softly sleep.

The essence of your personality
Is golden rain, and mellow sunlight, too.
Your wit is toned with whimsicality,
And graciousness and grace, belong to you.
The garment of your loveliness is spun
Of golden lilies breathing in the sun.
