HONOR TO WOMAN.
227
As wildly trembling—soft and slow,
Its wood-notes fill yon vale below,
Or, on resounding echoes, flow
The distant hills along.
Then welcome, lovely warbler, here
Thy lay announcing, “Spring is near!”
HONOR TO WOMAN.
FROM THE GERMAN OF GOETHE.
ll honor to woman, the Sweetheart, the Wife,
The delight of our homesteads by night and by day,
The darling who never does harm in her life,
Except when determined to have her own way.
