George Meredith - Marian
Work rating: Low

I 

She can be as wise as we, 
And wiser when she wishes; 
She can knit with cunning wit, 
And dress the homely dishes. 
She can flourish staff or pen, 
And deal a wound that lingers; 
She can talk the talk of men, 
And touch with thrilling fingers. 

         II 

Match her ye across the sea, 
Natures fond and fiery; 
Ye who zest the turtle`s nest 
With the eagle`s eyrie. 
Soft and loving is her soul, 
Swift and lofty soaring; 
Mixing with its dove-like dole 
Passionate adoring. 

         III 

Such a she who`ll match with me? 
In flying or pursuing, 
Subtle wiles are in her smiles 
To set the world a-wooing. 
She is steadfast as a star, 
And yet the maddest maiden: 
She can wage a gallant war, 
And give the peace of Eden.
