She can be as wise as we,
And wiser when she wishes;
She can knit with cunning wit,
And dress the homely dishes.

She can flourish staff or pen,
And deal a wound that lingers,
She can talk the talk of men,
And touch with thrilling fingers.

Match her ye across the sea,
Natures fond and fiery;
Ye who zest the turtle's nest
With the eagle's eyrie.

Soft and loving is her soul,
Swift and lofty soaring;
Mixing with its dove-like dole
Passionate adoring.

Such a she who'll match with me ?
In flying or persuing,
Subtle wiles are in her smiles
To set a world a wooing.

She is steadfast as a star
And yet the maddest maiden:
She can wage a gallant war,
And give the peace of Eden.

Lyrics: George Meredith - (1828 - 1909)
