Explore "A Woman's Answer" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
You call me an angel of love and of light, / A being of goodness and heavenly fire, / Sent out from God's kingdom to guide you aright, / In paths where your spirit may mount and aspire, / You say that I glow like a star on its course, / Like a ray from the altar, a spark from the source.
Now list to my answer-let all the world hear it, / I speak unafraid what I know to be true- / A pure, faithful love is the creative spirit / Which make women angels! I live but in you. / We are bound soul to soul by life's holiest laws; / If I am an angel-why, you are the cause.
