TO THE AMBITIOUS WOMAN

TO THE AMBITIOUS WOMAN
You stand in control;
You have conquered your soul;
You have stifled the longing for lover
and mate,
Defiant of Fate.
Yet tonight you are lonely, and could
you but speak,
You would cry for soft little hand
on your cheek.
There are tears in your eyes-I can
see as l pass,
When you lean to your face in the
glass.
DO you harken my cry?
1t is l; it is 1;
1t is l at your knee!
Don't you see; don't you see?
l who plead for the race;
! who yearn for place
In the infinite plan
God has fashioned for man!
All, Fame is a lure,
And its laurels are sure
To the spirit afire
With Ambitions desire!
But wait-listen-see!
In the future to be,
Can your GROWING compare
To the blessing l hear!
Don't you Sc don't you know
Your throe is my throe.
And mine is the plan when you stifo
me so?
Is it fair; is it right?
You are lonely tonight.
The shout of the centuries
urges my voice
IT'S the hour of your
choice!
