Not when steel gainst steel 10 olashing,
Not whom wars dread ensigns fly,
hot amid the wild oommotion
of the rabbles deafening cry,
Not within the crowded forum.
Not in senate halls of state,
bhould the gentle voice of woman
Challenge discord or debate.
Seeking not for worldly titles.
Striving not for empty fame,
Living but to enhance the beauty
Or an humble Christian name;
Armed with strength OF faith and patience.
Heart with kindliness aglow,
Passing gently as'an angel
Through this world of grief and woe;
Shedding silently the lustro
or her good examples light.
Til HES winter clouds. tho dreariest,
Silver fripged. grow fair and bright;
Round the bed of sick and dying.
Calming pain and suherings dread,
sfnoothtng down the feverish pillow,
Soothing aching heart and head;
Lighting mp with gentle graoes
home, that spot Of heavenly birth.
ChasiDg far all gloomy shadows
With q wand Of Joy and mirth
With tho rays of blest conteutment
Besutifying every lot.
Loving, cheering. Preside angels.
Rdghtening even the iowiiest cot;
Strewins others' paths with roses,
Piuchtng thorns from others' road,
Hobiy taking on her shouldsrs
Part Of others heavy load;
self forgetful.
Making earth type of Heaven
Such the noble angel mission
God TO woman.s life has given.
