She walketh veiled and sleeping, / For she knoweth not her power; / She obeyeth but the pleading / Of her heart, and the high leading / Of her soul, unto this hour. / Slow advancing, halting, creeping, / Comes the Woman to the hour! -- / She walketh veiled and sleeping, / For she knoweth not her power.
