Classic Poem

Of Women

Give Womanhood and Childhood both their Due;
The Lioness and Cubs are Lions, too.

“T OO little Closet Room!” cries Eve, and frowns;
For Adam says, “Too many Frocks and Gowns!”

“N O , I can't sew,” she said, “or cook a bit!”
And, strange to tell, the Girl was Proud of it!

I N Courtship, so the Saying goes,
One “Yes” will mend a Hundred “Noes.”

“G ROW tall!” the Rabbis said in Days that Were,
“But if thy Wife be little, stoop to her.”English
