Zeena Frome needed a hired maid
To come and live in her household
The doctor had ordered total rest
Since otherwise she would never get well

For Mattie Silver was not up to the task
Although she had not needed to be paid
Since Mattie as Zeena now knew
Had her husband under her spell

What followed would not have been guessed
For the crash left Mattie paralysed
Chair-bound for the rest of her life
So to Zeena the care now fell

The one who once scolded now felt the upbraid
The oppressor became the oppressed
