EMPIRE OF WOMAN.


EMPIRE OF WOMAN.
Her might is genteness-she winneth way
By soft word and softer look:
Where she, the gentle loving one, hath failed
The proud or stern night never yet succeed.
Strength, power and majesty belong to man;
They make the glory native to his life;
But sweetness is a womans attribute,

Have won dominion, but they never won
The dear empire of the beautifully
Sweetest sovereigns OF their natural loneliness.
