THE MODERN WOMAN TO HER LOVER

I shall not lie to you any more,

Flatter or fawn to attain my end—

I am what never has been before,

Woman—and Friend.

I shall be strong as a man is strong,

I shall be fair as a man is fair,

Hand in locked hand we shall pass along

To a purer air:

I shall not drag at your bridle-rein,
