But she had a face,

As if each fabled Grace

In a burst of delight to her bosom had caught her,

Or as if all the flowers in each Smith generation

Had blossomed at last in one grand culmination.

Style lingered unconscious in all of her dresses;

She'd starlight for glances, and sunbeams for tresses.

Wherever she went, with her right royal tread,

Each youth, when he'd passed her a bit, turned his head;

And so one might say, though the figure be strained,
