A GOOD WIFE.

Although with children bright in teens.
And full of light and gladness seems,
A man's abode, without a wife
Is empty lacks its real life.
The housewife makes the house bereft
Of her, a dreary waste tis left.

That man is truly blest whose wife,
with ever sympathetic heart,
shares all his weal and woe takes part
In all the events that stir his life
Is filled with joy when he is glad
And plunged in grief when he is sad

Laments whenever his home he leaves
His safe return with joy perceives
With gentle words his anger stills
And all her tasks with love fulfills.









Effects:
A man is only half a man, his life is not a whole,
until he finds a wife;
His house is like a graveyard sad and still till gleeful children all its chambers fill.
