SHE WHO IS TO COME*A woman—in so far as she beholdethHer one Beloved’s face;A mother—with a great heart that enfoldethThe children of the Race;A body, free and strong, with that high beautyThat comes of perfect use, is built thereof;A mind where Reason ruleth over Duty,And Justice reigns with Love;A self-poised, royal soul, brave, wise and tender,No longer blind and dumb;A Human Being, of an unknown splendor,Is she who is to come!

Her one Beloved’s face;
A mother—with a great heart that enfoldeth
The children of the Race;
A body, free and strong, with that high beauty
That comes of perfect use, is built thereof;
A mind where Reason ruleth over Duty,
And Justice reigns with Love;
A self-poised, royal soul, brave, wise and tender,
No longer blind and dumb;
A Human Being, of an unknown splendor,
Is she who is to come!
