POEMS
Under an equal law, with equal grace—
A world where life is proud and sane and free.
A world where life is proud and sane and free.
Andromeda.
Life must be borne. Together let us bear it!
There is no other answer to the vexed,
Sad problem of the world.
Life must be borne. Together let us bear it!
There is no other answer to the vexed,
Sad problem of the world.
Perseus.
Together, free of spirit,
Of body free, one minded, equal sexed.
Of body free, one minded, equal sexed.
Andromeda.
I claim of man a thousand centuries!
Shall one poor decade serve to make me wise
When men have knelt so long at wisdom's knees?
Shall one poor decade serve to make me wise
When men have knelt so long at wisdom's knees?
Perseus.
Till the last day grows dim to the last eyes!
Andromeda.
Let us go forth. Comrade and friend at last.
Perseus
Comrade and friend! For me a new days lies,
Splendid and strange. For you the night is passed.
Comrade and friend! For me a new days lies,
Splendid and strange. For you the night is passed.
Chorus of Second Women.
They rise, they go forth, foot by foot, hand in hand.
He goes not before, nor she after; together they stand.
He goes not before, nor she after; together they stand.
