Frontispiece: A Girl’s Face, after Greuzedetails

A GIRL’S face where, the budding rose

Of youthful beauty blooms and grows

By nature’s influence sweet and good,

to fuller grace of womanhood;

Is there a sight on earth so fair?

Consider well the raven hair

That clouds the forehead pure and white;

The lovely eyes like stars of light,

In whose clear, hazel glance is seen

The soul untroubled and serene;

The ripe bewitching lips that part

With smiles like sunshine of the heart;

And all the charms unnoted here,

That blossom sweet from year to year.
