Women

Melody -

1. Of women no more evil will I say,
The lightsome loves that help my heart to live
The sun sees nothing sweeter on his way
They pledge their faith and break it. I forgive,
  2. All I forgive and scandal them no more.
I am their servant. Let the witless jeer,
Though their slain loves are numbered by the score,
I love them living and their ghosts are dear.

3. The cunning wits are loud in their dispraise,
And yet I know not. If their breed should fail,
What comfort were in all the world's wide ways?
A flowerless earth, a sea without a sail.
If these were gone that make earth Heaven for men,
Love them or hate, 'twere little matter then.
