TO MRS. WING,
PRESIDENT OF THE BROOKLYN WOMAN'S CLUB.
Ere the light shall fade away,
Ere the banquet hour shall pass,
While, with cheer, we greet this day,
Bring the toast and fill the glass!
Tribute find for womanhood,
Earnest, thoughtful, sweet and good.

Like a rich and gay parterre
Filled with flowers of varied hue,
Some so bright and some so rare,
That to choose were hardly fair,
Should we give to all their due,—
Which to pluck I cannot tell
Where so many please me well:—
So, within our woman's realm,
With a woman at the helm,
Filled with flowers of varied hue,
Some so bright and some so rare,
That to choose were hardly fair,
Should we give to all their due,—
Which to pluck I cannot tell
Where so many please me well:—
So, within our woman's realm,
With a woman at the helm,
