II + 

The Woman That Lifted Up Her Voice + 

Filled with his words of truth and right, + 

Her heart will break or cry: + 

A woman’s cry bursts forth in might + 

Of loving agony. + 

“Blessed the womb, thee, Lord, that bare! + 

The bosom that thee fed!” + 

A moment’s silence filled the air, + 

All heard the words she said. + 

He turns his face: he knows the cry, + 

The fountain whence it springs⁠— + 

A woman’s heart that glad would die + 

For woman’s best of things. + 

Good thoughts, though laggard in the rear, + 

He never quenched or chode: + 

“Yea, rather, blessed they that hear + 

And keep the word of God!” + 

He would uplift her, not rebuke. + 

The crowd began to stir. + 

We miss how she the answer took; + 

We hear no more of her. + 
