Ths Cry of a Woman.

Oh, for the chance to soar! The daylight brings The same small tasks to crowd my Ufa : again; The years pass by me and my power has lain So long chained it is dying; she who rings Must know a life apart from little things Or the ever-turning wheel thins her refrain, One cleaves the sky, a million dot the plain And in my heart I know that I have wings, ~ Vain, vain, but more faint-hearted is the cry, I chose the life myself; I chose to stay Here in the plain with those my- heart adores; To make them happier, happier till I die. To turn the wheel more smoothly every day— Maybe, that is the way a woman soars. —Pall Mall Gas«tte.
