Man, man, man is for the woman made, And the woman made for man; As the spur is for the jade, As the scabbard for the blade, As for digging is the spade, As for liquor is the can, So man, man, man, is for the woman made, And the woman made for man. As the scepter's to be swayed, As for Night's the serenade, As for pudding is the pan, As to cool us is the fan, So man, man, man, is for the woman made, And the woman made for man. Be she widow, wife or maid, Be she wanton, be she staid, Be she well- or ill-arrayed, Shrew, slut, or harridan, Yet man, man, man, is for the woman made, And the woman made for man. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...GOOD-BY AND KEEP COLD by ROBERT FROST SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: THE HILL by EDGAR LEE MASTERS STONEWALL JACKSON'S WAY by JOHN WILLIAMSON PALMER CALVARY by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON GRAND IS THE SEEN by WALT WHITMAN HIGH SUMMER by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN |
