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.
