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.
