She was only little woman. It's true.
And hers was a common story;
She never had dreamed OF a thing TO do
That would lead her TO fame or glory.
She could not paint and she could not
sing,
And she could not write a sonnet;
She had not a face that could lend a
grace
To a stylish love OF bonnet.
She had not the wealth, and she knew
not ease;
She never had Travelled for pleasure;
She knew not the art to charm and please
In the realm OF social leisure.
And yet she deemed that her life was
blest
In it's humble sphere OF duty.
Though only those who knew her best
Guessed half OF its hidden beauty.
For hers was n genius for little things,
The realm OF home 70 brighten.
And she scorned not the humblest work
that brings
Some force to cheer and tighten.
For comfort and order were hers to
command,
And the joys OF life seemed longer
Whilo childhood -clung TO her loving hand,
And manhood, through her. grew
stronger.
And some who loved her were half afraid
That her sphere was far too SMALL
But oh, the happy home she made
Was a great thing after ALL
And when her beauteous spirit shall fee
From its realms of loving and giving,
Her stainless monument shall be
The lives that were blessed by her
living.
