Veiled
O’Lady! Cloak your emotions withal
Like the veil on your face
Don’t forget you’re a woman
You ought to nurture your race.
Bear all afflictions and atrocities
Yet never lose your grace
Don’t forget you’re a woman
You ought to nurture your race.
Let them be heartless, obdurate, unloving
Yet with love and care you must embrace
Don’t forget you’re a woman
You ought to nurture your race.
