addressed to the woman at home who
frets at little things:
Why do you make monstrOuS your lit

catches sight of a chubby fist waving in

laces there emanateS a wonderfully
soothing coo that sets the autumn
breezes to singing and startles the drow-

What is a $1000-a-day responsibility
compared to the accountability of this
woman for that wee bit of gold and
sunshine III the trundle bed by the south
window?
And it comes to me again with re-
newed force, how much more blessed

And, too, the realization of the bravery
and the Sr1rit of the woman who works
and denies herself the touch of baby lips

north waters in whose pulsatng depths
