The Power Of Woman

Mighty art thou, because of the peaceful charms of thy presence;

That which the silent does not, not the boastful can do,

Vigor in man I expect, the law in it's honors maintaining

But, through the graces alone, woman e'er rules or should rule,

Many, indeed, have ruled through the might of the spirit and action,

But then thou noblest of crowns, they were deficient in thee.

No real queen exists but the womanly beauty of woman;

Where it appears, it must rule; ruling because it appears!
