70 gain her need of right
Then Lo! A learned council
Whose wisdom we extol,
With due elaboration
Allowed she had soul.
But years full fourteen hundred
Have passed away since then,
And still she is considered
Inferior to men.
For her are laws enacted,
For her DEGREES are made
By legislator, priest and Judge,
Which all her rights invade
Her sons still march to battle
Will wonders never cease?
Their lives are freely given
To serve the Prince of Peace
Her daughters by the thousands,
Who Christian license hold,
Are langushing in bondage,
And half cannot be told.
Take up the woman's burden!
She's waiting to be freed
From the tyranny of priestcraft,
From Court and rite and creed.
Your dogmatism cast aside,
Remember Human ties
Unbind the Woman's Burden
And let the victim rise.
