We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

LOVE
(What a Woman Wants)
By NELLIE CRAVEY GILLMORE
Some one for a comrade, kindly and true ;
Some one to cheer her when she is blue.
Some one to kiss away her tears ;
Some one to fight for her thru the years.
Some one to stroke her aching head ;
Some one to lean on when hope seems dead.
Some one to coax when he is cross ;
Some one to soothe the hurt of her loss.
Some one to watch for, day by day ;
Some one’s cares to smooth away.
Some one to scold her and pet her by turns ;
Some one whose heart for her constantly yearns. Some one to hold her with strong, steady arm ; Some one to keep her from menace and harm.
Some one to cling to when grief’s flag is unfurled ; Some one who’ll stake her against the whole world Some one to rest her when stern cares oppress ; Some one to throw sunshine across her distress. Some one to go to when heavy of heart ;
Some one ever ready to take her part.
Some one to lead her into the light ;
Some one whose coming will make her eyes bright. Some one who never does misunderstand ;
Some one who thrills her with touch of the hand. Some one to trust her and tell her his ills ;
Some one to help her over life’s rugged hills.
Some one to pillow her head on his breast ;
And whisper sweet nothings — and call himself blest Some one who wouldn’t for worlds make her mad ; Some one to keep silent, knowing she’s sad.
Some one whose smile makes the sun of her life ; Some one’s strength for a mainstay thru strife.
Some one to cook for and bully and boss ;
Some one to stick by and shoulder her cross.
Some one heroic and patient and brave —
A king and a courtier, sweetheart and slave.
The “one, only man” under heaven’s broad blue To tell her: “I love you because you are you.” Every day of your life such a man may be seen ; He’s a real red man — and he lives on the screen !
