AL, SAVE ONE.
Ehe. lay E0de in her eoael Of slate

The lady rode in her coach of state
As the air grew chill and the dny grew late,
But she felt no longing to turn and so
To her own hearthstOne with its royal glow,
For though it was warm and rich and fair
There was never a child 10 greet her there.
What treasures had she in that princely homel
There were silks from Persiu and busts from
Rome,
Pictures from Pnris and London town.
Books and books, up stairs and Gown,
Strange, quaint things from the curious east,
But never child to share tho feast.
In the lady IS mind was goodly store
OF wit and learning and culture more.
She had smiled to the east and sailed to the west
She had seen all the things that are rarest and
best
And many n wondrous tale she knew.
But she had no child to tell them to.
And deep in the lndy g heart there lay
Such power of loving and giving, they say,
Such fancy for feeling her warm arms close
Round aim little form, with cheeks of rose.
Such wealth of love bad this lady true,
But never n child to give it to.
Oh. women who fret at the ills of lifc,
Tho round of duty, the smnll, small strife
OF daily living, with children s needs
Drawing you back from prouder deeds
Think of yourselves bereft and lone,
For love, ambition; for bread, stone.
