O. Henry

O. Henryana Seven Odds and Ends Poetry and Short Stories

Red to your battle hilts. Blow give for blow in the foray, Cunningly ride in the tilts; But when the roaring is ended, Tenderly, unbeguiled, Turn to a woman a womans Heart, and a childs to a child. Test of the man, if his worth be In accord with the ultimate plan, That he be not, to his marring, Always and utterly man; That he bring out of the tumult, Fitter and undefiled, To a woman the heart of a woman, To children the heart of a child.
