House before leslamllbfl. Adelaide Hoodless House By Maryn Partly So this is the house Where an inspired woman lilied. A woman who was distraught As she saw her young child die. A woman who berated herself For her own ignorance Of the things needful to sustain Life in small bodies. Then. out of her grief, A thought came nagging. There was so much ignorance Of common things among The women ot her day. And yet there were those Who knew and could teach 'lhese women of the farm If only they could be got together. So this great Woman Wilh her mind on fire With an idea. set forth; And out of her determination Grow a great movement Which has spread And grown and enriched The lives of many thousands. We then revere this house And count it as a shrine, l-‘cir because of the death Of one small child Countless olher children Have had better lives.
