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!
