2. She.
I know the girl: “divinely fair”
Of course “and most divinely tall:”
A modest yet a queenly air:
A voice that's keen but musical:
A mind above the common run,
But soft and kind, when all is done,
And womanly withal.

A mind above the common run,
But soft and kind, when all is done,
And womanly withal.
A girl who might aspire to light
A gifted worker's rugged way:
To make the very darkness bright
With love's illuminating ray:
To kindle some grave rugged man,
With genius, ready, if it can,
To flash upon the day.

A girl to soothe when days are drear:
To cheer you on when hope grows dim:
A girl who should not greatly fear,
For truth, however harsh and grim,
To scorn conventionalities:
The sort of woman, if you please,
Who marries men like him.
