WOMAN by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: SHALL SHE COME DOWN AND ON OUR LEVEL STAND
Last Line: FOREVER BEND ABOVE US AS WE RISE.
Subject(s): WOMEN;

Shall she come down and on our level stand?
Nay, God forbid it! May a mother's eyes --
Love's earliest home, the heaven of babyland --
Forever bend above us as we rise.
