To Mrs. E. T. Brockway.
49
She who long for us hath sought
Woman's weal with woman's thought,
Work with noblest meaning fraught,—
She is here our guest to-day,
Strew her path with flowers gay!
Honor to the gifts she lent,
Honor to our President!
Woman's weal with woman's thought,
Work with noblest meaning fraught,—
She is here our guest to-day,
Strew her path with flowers gay!
Honor to the gifts she lent,
Honor to our President!
(Read at the luncheon tendered to Mrs. Brockway, on her retirement from office, April, 1886.)
