JESSICA

Make thy name a word of beauty,

Like the lily pure and fair,

From its perfumed cup exhaling

Sweetest fragrance on the air.

Make thy name a word of beauty

Lustrous as the ocean pearl;

Constant in life's loving service,

Guileless through youth's mazy whirl.

Make thy name a word of beauty,

Radiant, steadfast, like a star;

Shedding from a glowing center

Love's effulgence near and far.

Aye, we greet thee, rare-sweet maiden,

( Make it evermore thy right ),

Jessica — our word of beauty,

Lily, pearl, and star of light.
