WOMAN and
...S0ClETY...
s thy name Mary. maiden, fair?

y,
Such should, methinks, its music be;
The sweetest name that mortals bear,
Were best betting thee;
And she to whom it once was given,
Was half of earth and half of heaven
/ hear the voice, / see thy smile,
/ look upon the folded hair;
All while we dream not they beguile,
Our hearts are in the snare;
And she, who claims a wild birds wing,
Must start not if her captive sing.
So lady, take the leaf that falls,
To all but the unseen, unknown,
When evening shades thy silent walls,
Then read it all alone;
In stiffness read, in darkness seal,
Forget ,despise, but not reveal!
OLIVER Wendell Holmes
