GRACE incarnate, Glory's heir,
Born of One Divinely fair,
Cradled 'mid the gloom and strife
Of this dark tumultuous life;
Waxing while all else is waning,
Militant till brightly reigning.

Glow of mind and flame of heart,
Splendour to the face impart
Mocking Light and Shadows' play
Or the Evening Star's pure ray --
Bid it flash in lightning glances,
Quiver as a sunbeam dances.

Form will vanish, colour fade,
Time and grief mar youth and Maid:
Fairer gleams the beauteous soul
As she nears life's dusky goal,
Thro' Earth's tale and Nature's story
Ripened for supernal Glory.
