Sometimes I long to write an odeA
And magnify his nameB
The man of honor on the roadA
To opulence and fameB
On whom was never aid bestowedA
By any helpful dameB
-
To all the world I fain would showC
That talent widely knownD
Rare eloquence of burning glowC
To melt a heart of stoneD
That all his gifts a dazzling rowC
Are his and his aloneD
-
But him of character and mindE
Superb alert and strongF
I never study but to findE
The subject of my songF
Some paragon of womankindE
Has helped him all alongF
-
He may not know he may not guessG
How much to her he owesH
How every scion of successG
That in his nature growsH
Developed by her watchfulnessH
Becomes a blooming roseH
-
From buffetings in humble placeH
And labors ill begunI
To proud achievement in the raceH
And laurels grandly wonI
His trials all she dares to faceH
As friend and championI
-
The bars that hinder his advanceH
And half obscure the goalJ
The stubborn bond of circumstanceH
That irritates his soulJ
The countershafts of arroganceH
All yield to her controlJ
-
He builds a tower she belowC
Is handing up the bricksH
His light is brilliant just as thoughC
Her hand had trimmed the wicksH
He prays for daily bread the doughC
A woman deigns to mixH
