Women
Listen! If but women were Half as kind as they are fair There would be an end to all Miseries that do appal. Cloud and wind would fly together In a dance of sunny weather, And the happy trees would throw Gifts to travellers below. Then the lion, meek and mild, With the lamb would, side by side, Couch him friendly, and would be Innocent of enmity. Then the Frozen Pole would go, Shaking off his fields of snow, To a kinder clime and dance Warmly with the girls of France. These; if women only were Half as kind as they are fair.
