The lady rode in her coach of state
AS the air grew chill and the day grew late,
But she felt no longing 10 turn and 20
To her own hearthstone with its royal glow,
For though it was warm and rich and fair
There was never child TO greet her 6here.
What treasures had she III that princely homel
There We're silks from Persia and busts from
Rome,
Pictures from Paris and London town,
Books and boz ks, up stairs and down,
Strange, qual things from the curious east,
But never a child 10 share the feast.
In the lady mind WA a good store
OF wit and learning and cal;l.r- more.
She had sailed to the east and sailed to the west,
She had seen all the things that ere rarest and
best
And many a wondrous tale she knew,
But she had no child to tell them to.
And deep in the lady 5 heart there lay
Such power of loving and giving, they say,
Such fancy for feeling her warm arms close
Round a slim little form, with cheeks Of rose
Such wealth of love had this lacy true
But never a child to give it to.
Oh, women who fret at the Ills Of life,
The round of duty, the small small strife
OF daily living, with children needs
Drawing you back from prouder deeds
Think OF yourselves bereft and lone,
For love, ambition; for bread, II stone.
