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!
