Analysis of A Lady
Elijah zmuda 1962 (Texas)
Wisdom is great for the mind;
A woman who is true is hard to find.
A treasure of beauty is a gem;
Like a woman who loves is a diamond.
A woman of honour is wonderful to hold;
She is more precious than the purest of gold.
A faithful woman is a music to the ear;
Pure as raindrops throughout the year.
Knowledge of heaven is a gift from above;
A woman is a gift to cherish and love.
To find a woman like this and of integrity;
One needs to understand a woman as I do a lady.
