Poem by Henry Livingston

Acrostic - Eliza Hughes

Ev'ry grace in her combine,
Love and truth and friendship join,
In one source without reserve,
Zealous all her friends to serve,
And diffuse true harmony.

Happy nymph of chaste repose,
Unsullied as the vernal rose.
Gay — majestic — yet serene,
Handsome, with a graceful mien;
Ev'ry charm in her appear,
She is lovely, chaste and fair.
