"A Helpmeet For Him"

Title:     "A Helpmeet For Him"
Author: Christina Georgina Rossetti [More Titles by Rossetti]

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.

[The end]
Christina Georgina Rossetti's poem: "A Helpmeet For Him"
