woMAN's LOVE DREAM.
ssrrrrE rovar nousros.
C. 4A II X

"a N 81
We all have walking vis'ous-1 have mine,
And being young and fanciful, and counted fair,
sometimes dream Of love.
And sitting all alone, and musing still.
While vet the 5irelight tiickers dim,
I ask myself, If should learn to love-
II nv still heart could wake to life,
How would love- and how would be loved
For am weary Of idolatry.
Nv soul Is faint within, while think
OF all the fierce, strong passion
Ibave seen and known, resistless in Its might
As some rock .cleaviug stream
would be loved in calmness &
Trusted, and not feared.
He whom loved should DO my king,
And not my slave.
I do not ask that he DO proud and cold
But calm and grave, and very strong,
A king, like SAUL among the soss OF men,
And kiaglier DER himself;
He must not tremble at my slightcst fro~n'
Nor shudder If another meet my eye:
Nor must he, like vasseal, crave my smile
Glad in the dust before my feet 10 lie
For am weary Of servility:
would not rule, nor would yet be ruled;
Iscorn the tyrant as scOrn his slave.
There is love of sweet equality, f.
The love of God gave and smiled upon;
For it was very good. 81
He whom 1love must 10 my king, o.
But Unjust behis queen:
And he should yield to me, as my tribute due,
The reverence I had earned,
Not only by my womanhood, cut by sentleness
Long suffering, the patient sweetness
Only love can teach; .'
For looking on mehe should feel and know
That peace and rest which follow after toll
In me his heart should in safety trust
That he should have no need Of spoil
I do not ask for the world APPLAUSE,
The blaze Of Aeraldry the pomp Of fame;
His deeds the annals Ola nations pride,
His name upon the lips Of men;
But must feel his power
Must know he could be what earth's heroes are
could not love him we're he not great.
His hand must be both safe and strong;
A shield, to trust, to lay my own within,
10 stake my life upon; 4....'
A hand that might have fought with Hercules
Yet would not harm the worm in his path
For though the heart Of woman loveth oft
A thing she doth unwiilingly despise,
1t is pitiful imperfect love, that hath not
For its corner stone tho rock of faith.
His heart must be tender and most true
A heart that loves, and pities and befriends
Earth's suffering children, whether high,
Or yet among tho lowly AMI the poor,
And he must love me perfectly.
If from the first fruits Of my hearts fair wealt
bring an Offering for love.crown made
He must not mock me with patry love,
Nor stoop to cheat my soul.
If should ever meet this man,
The king only dream, and never see,
Then could sit most meekly at his feet
A very child before his goodness and his powe
And while he stopped to kiss my shining hair,
Or smooth its clusters from their clingng rest
A sweet, unspoken language in his touch
Would lift my dark eyes to the dark OF his,
And, 40 in far Judea, when the world was youn
Sarah with reverence said to Abraham,
NY lips should call him Lord"
