Deuteronomy 6:6
and
His Word
Blessings
on the hand of women!
Angels
guard its strength and grace,
In
the palace, cottage, hovel,
Oh,
no matter where the place;
Would
that never storms assailed it,
Rainbows
ever gently curled;
For
the hand that rocks the cradle
Is
the hand that rules the world.
Infancy's
the tender fountain,
Power
may with beauty flow,
Mother's
first to guide the streamlets,
From
them souls unresting grow--
Grow
on for the good or evil,
Sunshine
streamed or evil hurled;
For
the hand that rocks the cradle
Is
the hand that rules the world.
Woman,
how divine your mission
Here
upon our natal sod!
Keep,
oh, keep the young heart open
Always
to the breath of God!
All
true trophies of the ages
Are
from mother-love impearled;
For
the hand that rocks the cradle
Is
the hand that rules the world.
Blessings
on the hand of women!
Fathers,
sons, and daughters cry,
And
the sacred song is mingled
With
the worship in the sky--
Mingles
where no tempest darkens,
Rainbows
evermore are hurled;
For
the hand that rocks the cradle
Is
the hand that rules the world.
William
Ross Wallace (1819-1881)
