The Universal Answer
by Alice Duer Miller (1874–1942)
Oh, there you go again, Invading man's domain! It's Nature's laws, you know, you are defying. Do n't fancy that you can Be really like a man, So what's the use of all this fuss and trying? It seems to me so clear, That women's highest sphere Is being loving wives and patient mothers. Oh, can n't you be content To be as you were meant? { souls For { books belong to husbands and to brothers. { votes
