WOMAN and
SOCIETY.
The Key.

Full many wasted years L spent,
I cried, How cruel is the fate
That bids me work and weep and wait
For things which make life worth the
living;
Nor rob the giver IN the giving;
A little joy, a little wealth.
Result for toll abundant health;
A chance to do a chance to be-
And then l looked and saw the \key!
Right in my heart | carried 1T,
Divinely fashioned, formed to fit
The lock of Gods great reservoir,
Which holds the things / hungered for.
The key was Love-pure gold, crust
With glittering gems of faith and trust.
1t fits all doors, it turns all locks;
1t leads the way through walls and
rocks;
1t lifts the bolt, unbars the gate
And shows us where life's treasures
wait.
Oh! are there heights thy feet would
press?
Seek Love, the key to all Success.
ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.
