Sonnet to M. L.
A gracious presence in the college life,
An atmosphere serene and softly bright,
Eyes of deep brown that hold a higher light;
A power to quiet every petty strife.
Hers the rule of love and sympathy.
Big sister all the girls must trust, admire.
The friend who helps their interests without tire,
Both leads and guides with rare ability.

She's consecrated to her chosen task
As truly as nun who takes her sacred vows
Before the altar. Sincerity endows
Her with a radiant spirit granted few
A charm the daily routine cannot mask.
The Dean of Women, ideally fine and true.
