Good School Girl

She walks with cheerful steps along,
The path that leads to school.
She cares not for the gaudy throng,
Her mind is serenene and cool.

She loves to learn and share her lore,
With friends and schoolmates dear.
She has a gentle, generous heart
That feels for others' tears

She finds delight in books and art
And nature's varied charms
She heeds the voice of conscience smart
And shuns the wrongdoer's harms

Content with what she has, her own,
Vain seeking she'll despise.
She shines as gem on hill alone,
And cheers the lonely eyes.
