Excerpt from Pearl: A Centennial Poem Cheeks on which lilies and roses contended; Recklessly wantoned the breeze with her hair, Tresses, with hazel and amber gleams blended Eyes brown and lovely, a brow wide and fair. Even her walk was perfection of motion; Lithe was her form as the willows that dream Over the streamlet that hastes to the ocean, Thoughts pure as lilies that float on the stream.
