All earth, all sky, all God, life’s deep sweet whole,

Newborn again to each new soul!

“Oh, are you? What a shame! Too bad, my dear!

How well you stand it, too! It’s very queer

The dreadful trials women have to carry;

But you can’t always help it when you marry.

Oh, what a sweet layette! What lovely socks!

What an exquisite puff and powder box!

Who is your doctor? Yes, his skill’s immense—

But it’s a dreadful danger and expense!”
