Or will We keep
Your ever pure and precious womanhood,
The tender love of husband and of enid,
The God appointed right to mold and train
The future men aud heroes OF the laud!

Why habbic We OF wrongs and injured righis!
God pity women who have wrongs indeed
And We may pity and may heib th 1 100
Which men should do viii never help then wrongs
Or at a cost too fearful, and too er a.
Yes. trials are the lot Of all mankind,
And men as well as women, have their wrongs
Which al their right u vote can never help
Then. through the lights and shades Of future years
Let woman work with high and noble aim;
Not to be Presidents, and Priests and Kings,
But truer women Then the day will come
And honor woman as the bctterhaf
Whom God appoints to lead his hayward sons
