To E. L. Zox. {89} (Melbourne.)
We thank you for a noble work well done. There is a kindness - ('tis the truer one; The better part the simpler heart doth know), The care to give the day a brighter sun To these, the nameless crowd that drags on slow The common toil, the common weary woe The world cares nought for. But your work secures Thro' union strength and self-respect that grow. There is a courage that unflawed endures The sneer, the slander of earth's epicures. And here are grateful women's hearts to show This kindness and this courage, both are yours!
