Lady Isabella

Hearth warm as summer, fresh as spring,
Gracious as autumn’s harvesting,
Pure as the winter’s snows; as white
A hand as lilies in sunlight;
Eyes glorious as a midnight star;
Hair shining as the chestnuts are;
A step firm and majestical;
A voice singing and musical;
A soft expression, kind address;
Tears for another’s heaviness;
Bright looks ; an action full of grace;
A perfect form, a perfect face;
All these become a woman well,
And these had Lady Isabel.
