THE HUSBAND SPEAKS
What every man should see in her he weds!
I wander . . . wisely, let me, since my words
Conceal what none but you and I should know,—
The love I bear you, who have been, and are
Strong in the strength and weakness of your sex—
Queen of my household, mistress of my heart,
My children's mother, and my always friend;
In one word, Sweet, sweetest of all words—Wife!

My children's mother, and my always friend;
