Belva Ann Lockwood

Their Efforts Were in Vain

While waiting men the count did watch  With mingled hopes and fears, Inspired by the party interest,  Where were the Belva-dears?

Returns were read for Harrison  'Mid wild, excited cheers; The Clevelandites, too, had their share—  What of the Belva-dears?

What mattered if they met and spoke,  Disdaining husbands' sneers? Their ballots showed not in the count,  These Lockwood Belva-dears.
