WOMAN and
...S0ClETY...

She has laughed as softly as if she
sighed:
She has counted six and over.
OF a purse we'll filled, and a heart
well tried
Oh, each a worthy lover!
They give her time" for her soul
must slip
Where the world has set the groov-
ing:
She will lie to none with her fair red
But love seeks truer loving.
She trembles her fan in a sweetness
dumb,
AS her thoughts were beyond re-
calling,
With a glance for one. and glance
for some,
From her eyelids rising and fall
ing.
Speak common words, unreprovlng:
But her silence says-what she never
will swear
And love seeks better loving.
Go, lady! lean to the night-guitar,
And drop a smile to the bringer;
Then smile as sweetly when he is far
At the voice of an indoor singer.
Bask tenderly beneath tender eyes;
Glance lightly on their removing;
And join new vows to old perJurias-
But dare not call it loving!
Unless you can think when the song
is done,
No other is soft in the rhythm;
Unless you can feel, when left by
One,
That all men beside go with him;
Unless you can die when the dream
by his breath,
That VOnr hp9ntV itself wants prov
ing;
Unless you can swear-"For life, for
death!'-
Oh, fear to call it loving!
Unless you can muse in a crowd all
day,
On the absent face that fixed YOU;
Unless you can love, as the angels
may.
With the breadth of heaven be-
twixt you.
Unless you can die when the dream
is fast
Through behooving and unbehoov-
Unless you can die when the draem
is past
Oh. never call it loving!
Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
