LEONORA Leonora	A
How the word rolls Leonora	A
Lion like in full mouthed sound	B
Marching o'er the metric ground	B
With a tawny tread sublime	C
So your name moves Leonora	A
Down my desert rhyme	C
	-
So you pace young Leonora	A
Through the alleys of the wood	D
Head erect majestic tall	E
The fit daughter of the Hall	E
Yet with hazel eyes declined	F
And a voice like summer wind	F
And a meek mouth sweet and good	D
Dimpling ever Leonora	A
In fair womanhood	D
	-
How those smiles dance Leonora	A
As you meet the pleasant breeze	G
Under your ancestral trees	G
For your heart is free and pure	H
As this blue March sky o'erhead	D
And in the life path you tread	D
All the leaves are budding sure	H
All the primroses are springing	I
All the birds begin their singing	I
'T is your spring time Leonora	A
May it long endure	H
	-
But it will pass Leonora	A
And the silent days must fall	E
When a change comes over all	E
When the last leaf downward flitters	G
And the last last sunbeam glitters	G
On the terraced hillside cool	J
On the peacocks by the pool	J
When you'll walk along these alleys	G
With no lightsome foot that dallies	G
With the violets and the moss	G
But with quiet steps and slow	K
And grave eyes that earthward grow	K
And a matron heart inured	D
To all women have endured	D
Must endure and ever will	L
All the joy and all the ill	L
All the gain and all the loss	G
Can you cheerfully lay down	M
Careless girlhood's flowery crown	M
And thus take up Leonora	A
Womanhood's meek cross	G
	-
Ay your eyes shine Leonora	A
Warm and true and brave and kind	D
And although I nothing know	K
Of the maiden heart below	K
I in them good omens find	D
Go enjoy your present hours	G
Like the birds and bees and flowers	G
And may summer days bestow	K
On you just so much of rain	N
Blessed baptism of pain	N
As will make your blossoms grow	K
May you walk as through life's road	D
Every noble woman can	O
With a pure heart before God	D
And a true heart unto man	O
Till with this same smile you wait	D
For the opening of the Gate	D
That shuts earth from mortal eyes	G
Till at last with peaceful heart	D
All contented to depart	D
Leaving children's children playing	I
In these woods you used to stray in	P
You may enter Leonora	A
Into Paradise	G
