Not every diamond's a Koh-i-noor!

Thus when our Lillian, needing but wings,

Plays us the queen of the fairies, we deem

Grace such as hers a bewildering dream—

Her laughter, her gestures, a dozen things,

Furnish our worshiping fondness a theme.

Or when our Alice, scarcely less tall,

And none the less fair, tries her slim baby feet,

Or a new has lisped, to the pride of us all,

Smiling, we cry, "was aught ever so sweet?"
