There are some women made of silk
There are some women made of silk
But with steel frameworks deep inside them.
I know such women and I think
That they're both wonderful and shameful.
The wonder is that they are brave
And their hearts are kind and pure,
And they are full of life and faith,
They can support and save, and cure.
They are unable to betray.
They are all proud, strict, but gentle.
The shame is that they quickly fade
And burn themselves down right to ashes.
