ONLY ToMAN.

Only a woman, shriveled and odd
The prey of the wind and the prey of
the cold
Cheeks that are ShTunken,
Eyes that are Sunken,
Lips that were never DER bold.
Only a woman, forsaken and poor,
Asking for aims at the bronze church
door.
Hank to the organ roll upon roll
The waves of its music 60 over her soul
Silks rustic past her
Faster and faster
The great bell ceases its toll.
Fain would she enter, but not for the
poor,
Swingeth wide open the bronze church
door.
Only woman, wailing alone,
Icy cold on an ice-cold stone,
What do they care for her
MumbliDg prayer for her
Giving not bread but stone,
Under rich laces their naughty hearts
Mocking the woes of their kin in the
street.
Only woman. In the old days
Hope caroled to her the happiest lays;
Somebody missed her
Somebody kissed her;
Somebody crowned her with praise
somebody faced out the battle of life
Strong for her sake who was mother or
wife.
Somebody lies with i tress of her hair
Light on his heart, where the death
shadows are.
Somebody waits for her
Opening the gate for her,
Giving delight for despair;
Only NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
She is dead in the snow at the bronze
church door

"a little while ago q babe was

chance or fate.
"The warm heart of Mary Fiske,
now cold in death, was touched. She
took the waif and held it lovingly to
her breast and made the child her
own.
I'VE pray thee, Mother Nature,
that thou wilt take this woman and
hold her as tenderly in thy arms as
she held and pressed against her gen
