THE CHILDLESS WOMAN
There is one spot unoccupied,
And fenced from all apart,
For Love hath built, for one denied
A cradle in my heart!
And fenced from all apart,
For Love hath built, for one denied
A cradle in my heart!
There is a form forever near
None others' eyes may see;
And one sweet voice none others hear
Is always calling me!
None others' eyes may see;
And one sweet voice none others hear
Is always calling me!
My empty arms one burden bear,
For which there is no room
In those so filled with toil and care
For children in the home!
For which there is no room
In those so filled with toil and care
For children in the home!
For countless blessings, rich and rife,
My gratitude I bring,—
But all the music in my life
Retains one silent string!
My gratitude I bring,—
But all the music in my life
Retains one silent string!
