HER MISSION.

She is so winsome and so wise

She sways me at her will,

And oft the question will arise,

What mission does she fill?

O then I say with pride untold,

And love beyond degree,

This woman with the heart of gold,

She just keeps house for me —

For me,

She just keeps house for me!

A full content dwells on her face,

She's quite in love with life,

And for a title wears with grace

The sweet old-fashioned “wife.”

Our children climb upon her knee,

And nestle on her breast,

And ah! her mission seems to me

The grandest and the best.

O then I say with pride untold,

And love beyond degree,

This woman with the heart of gold,

She just keeps house for me —

For me,

She just keeps house for me!
