AN OLD-FASHIONED SOUL.
Not hers the New Times lofty lot
To questions big replying:
She only knows to keep the cot
And soothe the chiliren's crying.
Not hers to stand in temples bright.
Sad strife for strife returning;
She only knows the lamps to light
And keep thes home fires burning.
Not hers to move with iron will
In paths of strange endeavor:
She only knows that Home is still
The sweetest name forever!
There are her joys, and there her tears
A life so sweetly human:
The world shall whisper through the years:
God bless that little woman"
