IIOM.AN'S RIGHTS,

A right to tread SO softly
Beside the couch of pain;
TO smooth with gentle finger,
The tangled locks again,
To watch beside the dying,
In the wee sma' hours of night,
And breathe consecrating prayer
When the spirit takes it's flight.
A right to cheer the weary
On the battlefield of life,
To give the word Of sympathy
Amid the toll and strife,
To lift the burdens gently
From sore and tired hearts.
And never weary of the tasl:
Till gloomy care departs.
The right to be a woman
In truest woman's woc':-
If life should be hard one,
No duties ever shrk,
A right to show to others
How strong a woman grows
When skies are dark and lowering
And life bears not 4 rose
A right to love one truly
And to be loved back again,
A right to share his fortunes
Through sunlight and through rain :;
A right to be protected
From LIES most cruel blight,
BY manly love and courage
Sure, these are wonan's rights.

Penlmican answered 1t, listened for al
