Virtue

Her eyes are unsullied and virgin-sweet
As the lilies in fields the Master trod.
A star her light, she scatters the seed
Garnered from God's own beauty-grot.

As pure as the depths of a canyon pool
With crystal bars is her fount of life.
From the gyves of sin she remains aloof
Yet walks with the sinner the "second mile."
