A HELPMEET FOR HIM, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Woman was made for man's delight
Last Line: Woman was made.
Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina
Subject(s): Women


WOMAN was made for man's delight;
Charm, O woman, be not afraid!
His shadow by day, his moon by night,
Woman was made.

Her strength with weakness is overlaid;
Meek compliances veil her might;
Him she stays by whom she is stayed.

World-wide champion of truth and right,
Hope in gloom and in danger aid,
Tender and faithful, ruddy and white,
Woman was made.
