THE queenliest woman, bravest, best of all sweet things
beneath the sun?
I say the queenliest is that one -- seek north or south or
east or west --
Who loves to fold the little frock and hear the cradle rock and rock.
I say the purest woman, best beneath our forty stars is she
Who loves her spouse most ardently and rocks the cradle oftenest --
Who rocks and sings, and rocks, and then when birds are
nestling, rocks again.
