Unarmed she goeth, yet her hands
Strike deeper awe than steel-caparisoned bands.
No fatal hurt of foe she fears,—
Veiled, as with marl, in mist of gentle tears.
'Gainst her thou canst not bar the door;
Like air she enters; where none dared before.
Even to the rich she can forgive
Their regal selfishness,—and let them live!
