Suffrage Songs and Verses — For Fear

For fear of prowling beasts at night They blocked the cave;

Women and children hid from sight, Men scarce more brave.

For fear of warrior’s sword and spear They barred the gate;

Women and children lived in fear, Men lived in hate.

For fear of criminals today We lock the door;

Women and children still to stay Hid evermore.

Come out!

Ye need no longer hide!

What fear you now?

No wolf nor lion waits outside-- Only a cow.

Come out!

The world approaches peace, War nears its end;

No warrior watches your release-- Only a friend.

Come out!

The night of crime has fled-- Day is begun;

Here is no criminal to dread-- Only your son.

The world, half yours, demands your care, Waken and come!

Make it a woman’s world; safe, fair, Garden and home.
