Signification . . Benevolent. 
Emblem Snow-Ball. 
Sentiment . . . Virtues cluster around thee. 
She is not very beautiful, if it be beauty’s test 
To match a classic model, when perfectly at rest ; 
And she does not look bewitchingly, if witchery it be 
To have a forehead and a lip transparent as the sea. 
The fashion of her gracefulness is not a followed rule. 
And her effervescent sprightliness was never learned at 
school ; 
And her words are all peculiar, like the fairies who 
spoke pearls. 
And her tones are ever sweetest ’midst the cadences of 
girls. 
Said I she is not beautiful ? Her eyes upon your sight 
Broke with the lambent purity of planetary light ; 
And an intellectual beauty, like a light within a vase, 
Touched every linewnth glory, of her animated face.
