ON A PICTURE, by                    
First Line: Among the faces of these girls
Last Line: This garden in epitome.
Subject(s): Beauty; Girls


Among the faces of these girls --
Which seem to break forth from their curls
As flowers from buds -- is one that glows
All crimson like a blushing rose,
And one that lifts itself on high --
A lily looking to the sky,
Another with a pansy's grace
Half hides amid the leafy lace;
And all are sweet, and all are fair
Like beauty in a boutonniere --
A dream of loveliness! Give me
This garden in epitome.
