Whose swarthy sons in blood delight,

Who of their scorn to Europe boast,

And paint their very demons white:

There, while the sterner sex disdains

To soothe the woes they cannot feel,

Woman will strive to heal his pains,

And weep for those she cannot heal:

Hers is warm pity’s sacred glow;

From all her stores she bears a part,

And bids the spring of hope re-flow,
