Signification . . Strong. 
Emblem Allyssum. 
Sentiment .... Worth beyond Beauty. 
There is a strength in Ellen’s heart, 
Which not to all is given ; 
’Tis not attained by fashion’s art, 
’T is nought that mortals can impart, — • 
It is the gift of Heaven. 
When o’er the stormy sea of life, 
Her little bark is driven, 
When every wave ’s with danger rife, 
She seeks a shelter from the strife, — 
By trusting all to Heaven. 
She feels that beauty nought can give, 
To comfort life’s last even ; 
And therefore strives each day to live, 
That strength divine she may receive, 
To walk the path to Heaven.
