WOMAN'S GLORY
One little star in all the sky
Is heralding the coming night;
One tiny gem of silver light
Meets my uplifted eye.
Is heralding the coming night;
One tiny gem of silver light
Meets my uplifted eye.
No cloud is hovering near it now—
But, lonely on its azure path,
With all the glory that it hath,
It glideth silently and slow.
But, lonely on its azure path,
With all the glory that it hath,
It glideth silently and slow.
So far above earth's stainéd soil
Should woman's glory ever beam;
To cheer with pale but steady gleam,
Like angel's holy smile.
Should woman's glory ever beam;
To cheer with pale but steady gleam,
Like angel's holy smile.
