THE MINISTRY OF WOMAN.
How beautiful the ministry Of woman’s gentle band ! How soft love’s attributes, that spring At her divine command ! For weal or woe, for good or ill, About man’s careless life She weaves the blossoms of her heart, As mother, maid, or wife ! She leads his feet up from the pit ! She bids his spirit rise ! Sometimes by her superior will, Sometimes by pleading eyes ! Or else she lures him from the heights To darkest depths below ! From peace and joy and love and heaven To bitterness and woe ! Oh, woman ! Lovely womankind ! Be careful how you play The role of queen, in this your realm, To him whom you may sway I Mrs M. A. Kidder.
