12 "WORTH BEYOND BEAUTY. 
ALYSSUM, SWEET. 
Alyssum Maritimum. 
Language — WORTH BEYOND BEAUTY. 
She who thinks a noble heart 
Better than a noble mien, — 
Honors virtue more than art, 
Though ’tis less in fashion seen, — 
Whatsoe’er her fortune he, 
She’s the bride — the Avife— for me. 
She who deems that imvard grace 
Far surpasses outward show, — 
She who values less the face 
Than the charms the soul can throw, — 
Whatsoe’er her fortune be, 
She’s the bride — the wife — for me. 
She who knows the heart requires 
Something more than lips of dew, — 
That Avhen love’s brief rose expires, 
Love itself dies with it too, — 
Whatsoe’er her fortune be, 
She’s the bride — the wife — for me. 
Charles Swaiit.
