There are others more handsome by far,
But my face, I don't mind it,

Because I'm behind it,

'Tis the folks in the front that I jar.

Johnson, Robert Underwood. Poems of war and peace. Bobbs-Merrill, 1916.

Dear boy of the seraphic face,

With brow of power and mouth of grace,
And deep, round eyes, set far apart,

So that the mind should match the heart!

Child of the future! Beauty's flower!

His gentle image should have power
The conscience of a realm to wring
And haunt the pillow of a king.

On the portrait of a child lost in the "Lusitania."
