<h2>She Just Keeps House For Me</h2> <div class="poetry"> <div class="poem"><div class="stanza"> SHE is so winsome and so wise She sways us at her will, And oft the question will arise What mission does she fill? And so 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. </div> <div class="stanza"> A full content dwells in her face, She’s quite in love with life, And for a title, wears with grace The sweet old-fashioned “Wife,” And so 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.{152} </div> <div class="stanza"> What though I toil from morn till night, What though I weary grow, A spring of love and dear delight Doth ever softly flow, And so I say with pride untold, And love beyond degree, The woman with the heart of gold She just keeps house for me. </div> <div class="stanza"> Our children climb upon her knee And lie upon her breast, And ah! her mission seems to me The highest and the best, And so I say with pride untold, And love beyond degree, This woman with the heart of gold She just keeps house for me. </div> </div></div> <ANTIMG src="images/deco.png" width-obs="25" alt="[Decorative image unavailable.]" /> {153} <div style="break-after:column;"></div>
