A SONG OF WOMEN

Long ago, in the youth of mankind
There were women, good, kind women.
They loved and caressed, 
They cherished, they blessed 
And spurred man Earth's pathway to find.  

Years rolled by.  Were a goal to be won,
There were women, helpful women
To love and caress, 
To cherish, to bless
And inspire man Life's race-way to run. 

And so, after long fruited years, 
If our women, fine, true women. 
Think the better to bless—
Be true women not less—
And to meet Life's sharp tests without fears,

They should, with equal rights, walk on Life's highway
All our women—fair, brave women. 
Still to love and caress us, 
Still to cherish and bless us, 
Thro' all years till that great, Final Day. 

Then to women o'er all seas and lands, 
To women let's stretch helping hands. 
Here's a song of good cheer to them 
From a heart full of love for them, 
For women, all women.  God bless them!

G. D. D.

Lovingly dedicated

Little Women
