Emblem Dahlia. 
Sentiment .... Elegance and dignity. 
Though noble thy station, fair girl, 
And diamonds encircle thy brow, 
Though decked with bright jewels and pearl, 
Art happy 7 Say, happy art thou 7 
Though robes that are costly and rare, 
Fall gracefully over thy form, — 
Is thy bosom less burdened with care 7 
Are thy feelings more genial and warm 7 
Ah ! no ; we well know that thy heart 
Loves not the false splendors of wealth ; 
To thy bosom no joy they impart ; 
To thy cheek, not the blooming of health. 
Make friends of thy treasures, fair girl ! 
Strew blessings around in thy way, 
And seek for thyself the rich pearl 
That ne’er will grow dim or decay.
