Had motions graceful as the waving bough.

The love of nature dwelt within her heart

In all its aspects; but her chief delight

Was in the silver, sunny loveliness

On such she looked with ever-raptured eye,

Until their brilliance had imbued her soul

With joyous thoughts and bright. The theme she chose
