“A HELPMEET FOR HIM.”

Woman was made for man's delight,—

Charm, O woman! Be not afraid!

His shadow by day, his moon by night,

Woman was made.

Her strength with weakness is overlaid;

Meek compliances veil her might;

Him she stays, by whom she is stayed.

World-wide champion of truth and right,

Hope in gloom, and in danger aid,

Tender and faithful, ruddy and white,

Woman was made.
