Acrostic
More precious than gold or the pearl of the East
Are the virtues and beauties that adorn thy mind
Round thee all noble spirits share in that richest feast
Your melodious voice imparts from richest gifts Divine
Adorned is thy soul with jems that Angels Love
No power shall take thy crown that's secure above
Noble has been thy aim through all thy deeds of life
May thy future path be marked by Gods own hand
Inspired by Eternal truth let peace & Joy surround thy brow
Tread in the Holy Courts of God in Zion's chosen land
Celestial love shall through thy sacred bosom flow
Heavens highest blessings are in store for thee
Eternity shall lift the veil and point to thy domain
Live then O! Noble Lady for those gifts so free
Lift up thy head in glory with Kindred spirits reign
