One of the neatest of ACROSTICS was written by Desmond Ryan, for the London Musical World:
Art and Genius burn within her,
Dearest fondling of the Graces!
Every charm is centered in her;
Like a poet’s page her face is!
In her voice the lark is thrilling—
Now to weep the heart is willing—
And now with joy and hope ’tis filling!
Praised, admired, two worlds all hail her—
Artless, pure, no tongues assail her!
