Authors:
  • You may wear your virtues as a crown,
    As you walk through life serenely,
    And grace your simple rustic gown
    With a beauty more than queenly.
    Though only one for you shall care,
    One only speak your praises;
    And you never wear in your shining hair,
    A richer flower than daisies.
