She asked me name my foe then

So easy to begin and yet impossible to end
Acknowledging the lady as the mother of all men and her wise counsel.

Had counciled me so wisely that

Watching the lady's disappearance and the impact on the speaker.
My labor is no easier
Acknowledging that the speaker's labor is not easier, but finding solace in not being alone.
But now I know I'm not alone
Finding renewed strength when thinking about the encounter with the lady.

And if one day she comes to you

Drink deeply from her words so wise
Encouraging deep contemplation of the lady's wise words.
Take courage from her as your prize and say hello for me
Advising to take courage from the lady as a valuable prize.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
