A WOMAN'S HAND, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Soft and tender, smooth and white
Last Line: A woman's hand.
Subject(s): Hands; Women


Soft and tender, smooth and white,
Formed for winning and delight,
Nature has no lovelier sight, --
A woman's hand.

Wrinkled, worn with much to do,
Many a task for me and you,
In all trials good and true, --
A woman's hand.

Clasping ours through life and death,
Lovingly to latest breath,
Sweetest thing that comforteth, --
A woman's hand.
