To George Sand: A Recognition
To George Sand: A Recognition
TRUE genius, but true woman ! dost deny
The womans nature with a manly scorn
And break away the gauds and armlets worn
By weaker women in captivity?
Ah, vain denial ! that revolted cry
Is sobbed in by a womans voice forlorn, _
Thy womans hair, my sister, all unshorn
Floats back dishevelled strength in agony
Disproving thy mans name: and while before
The world thou burnest in a poet-fire,
We see thy woman-heart beat evermore
Through the large flame. Beat purer, heart, and higher,
Till God unsex thee on the heavenly shore
