t Thc ways of woman arc wondrous ways

She throwcth a stone to shoo a hen ,

She lo\'cth a malt as hard as she can ,
Yet raiscth his heart in welts ;
By looking right through him ; and over

Of grief abdm her cup ;

When yon''e carefully figured the way

And arc ready to make your play ;

Shc's thc opposite thing to what God
planned ,
Shc's thc nc\'cl'yctundcrtood ; ,
She's the une pectedcst dearest thing
And that's what makes her g'ood.
