Foul Slander and Abuse have crossed thy path,
And Fashion and Convention mocked in wrath
Thy noble youth and age.

"Go forth", the Spirit said, "for my name's sake;
Give all thou art; all ease & gain forsake.
That call thou hast obeyed.

How sweet were home and quiet hearth to thee!
But sweeter righteousness enthroned to see;
To thee nought else was gain.

And {carat: "thou,"} for Womanhood, by night and day,
Hast cried, with prophet voice, "Prepare they way!
Thy life became a light.

To widow's wrongs and childhood's menaced years
Thou gavest pleadings, strivings, prayers, & tears.
And gavest not in vain.

What though the State, entrenched in wont & use,
Withholds, with shifting voice & vain excuse,
The seal of civic right?

The heavy burden has been rolled away,
As growing girl but sees a gladder day,
Through thee, & those like thee.

Withholds, with shifting voice & vain exceeds,
The seal of civic right?

The heavy burden has been called away,
As growing give but sees a gladder day,
