- No radiant pearl which crested fortune wears / No gem that twinkling hangs from beauty's ears / Nor the bright stars which night's blue arch adorn / Nor rising suns that gild the vernal morn / Shine with such lustre as the tear that breaks / For other's wo down virtue's manly cheeks / / Mary Ann Stevens / MAY 23, / 1829 //
