Behold

she hums a tune so joyful that all the songbirds hush her countenance so lovely that all the flowers blush her gown such shimmering glory it makes the stars grow dim and all her lambent radiance she wears because of him January 2, 2019

This is a real beauty, well-deserving of its win in Mark T's contest...I especially like the rhythm of the lines---very melodious...And I got to learn what 'lambent' means too. It's a real win-win, as they say these days. You win, and I win too. :) :)

I am so glad you mentioned that word so that I could give her credit for it. Originally I had a footnote giving her credit but then I entered it in a contest and thought I best remove it.
