poem, "a Woman's Question:
Do you know you have asked the
costliest thing
Ever made by the hand above
A woman's heart and woman's
life,
And a woman's wonderful love?
Do you know that you've asked for
this priceless thing,
AS child might ask for a toy
Demanding what others have died
to win,
With the reckless dash of boy?
You have written my lesson of
duty. out,
Man-like, you have questioned
me;
Now stand at the bar of my
women'S soul
Until I question thee.
You require your mutton shall
always be hot,
Your socks and your shirts shall
be whole;
I require your heart to be true
as Gods stars,
And pure as heaven your soul.
You require a cook for your
mutton and beef,
I require far better thing.
A seamstress you're wanting for
stockings and shirts;
I look for a man and a king.
A king for a beautiful realm
called home,
And a man that the Maker of God,
Shall look upon as He did the first
And say, 'It is very good"
I am fair and young, but the
rose will fade
From my soft, young cheek
one day;
Will you love me, then, mid
falling leaves, :
AS you did mid the bloom of
May?
Is your heart an ocean so strong
and deep,
I may launch my all on its tide?
A loving woman finds heaven
or hell
On the day she is made a bride.
1 require all things that are grand
and true,
All things that man should be;
If you give this all, I would
stake my life
To be all you demand of me.
If you cannot do this-a laundress
and cook
You can hire with little to pay.
But a Woman'S heart and a
woman's life
Are not to be won that way.
