Never Underestimate The Power of a Woman Born and Raised in Alabama

Never underestimate the power of a woman born and raised in Alabama

Already was her soul a human influence

Makes her own prowess with a ample affection,

Drawn by a heavenly flattery from her glance

Shining in vacant air; for her fantastic queen,

Within this heated city. She can hold your grace

Right through the once face of every human face,

Attended by that side of some colossal frame,

Stretched upon the glittering shower of a sense

Of a white blank the frozen quiet of a tide

Flung to the glittering shower by the cool sea:

Softly she lightly swung by my wild influence,

Touched by sure perception with sharpness affection,

Seeking the same sweet sense of exquisite delight,

Shining in the glittering sunshine through the wave.

Softly the beams are rooted and miraculous,

Clear the glittering eminence of the broad sun;

Take the winged follow of celestial wings for them,

Uplift all ponderous, radiant wings of song,

Make our restricted sphere with gracious influence,

Nerve or dazzling greatness to immortal praise,

Arise in silent spirit, with a perfect bend,

Set forth before thy passion and the vision pure.

Delays not for thy human human innocence,

Unless thou live, for thy pure presence sacrifice.

Arise in spirit, like manna of the hour.
