1907-2003

She knew! and when she didn't know, she knew
A way to search, and trusting certainty
To serve her as it always had--She knew!
There in a veiled world where she could see.
Thrice veiled it is and for most all of us;
A sense tells fond desire near...somewhere...there.
But know and mark it sure--for 't's ever thus,
A veil gives way before a whispered dare.
Her dares did roar and roar again but they
Were roars apart--she saw no veil, you see.
She chose her life each minute on her way,
Achieving life's sole valid royalty.
Unself-conscious grace, She, of our few--
She won it all--and us--because she knew!
