Dinah Maria Mulock - Her Likeness
Work rating: Low

A GIRL, who has so many wilful ways 
She would have caused Job`s patience to forsake him; 
Yet is so rich in all that`s girlhood`s praise, 
Did Job himself upon her goodness gaze, 
A little better she would surely make him. 

Yet is this girl I sing in naught uncommon, 
And very far from angel yet, I trow. 
Her faults, her sweetnesses, are purely human; 
Yet she`s more lovable as simple woman 
Than any one diviner that I know. 

Therefore I wish that she may safely keep 
This womanhede, and change not, only grow; 
From maid to matron, youth to age, may creep, 
And in perennial blessedness, still reap 
On every hand of that which she doth sow.
