WOMAN and
...SOCIETY...


A maiden paused, to choose between
Two roses, side by side
The royal red, blushing queen:
The white a summer bride.
She stopped and breathed each bios
som fair.
Their fragrance soft TO mete.
The flaming red proved truly rare,
The white, divinely sweet.
"Oh, peerless red, could one deny
THY lovelinesS!" said she.
1.-The varied hues of yonder sky
Wear not such radiancy.
Yet would that lustre prove thine own
Hid from the glazing sun.
Perchance thy beauty will have hoWn,
Before the day is done"
She clipped the white and whispered
near:
sI'n send thee, spotless rose
To hearts divine, thou hast no peer
That brings us sweet repose.
And though my love stained pages
will
Have crushed thy fragile tips,
Thy fragrance will be sweeter still
When nestled to his lips"
