With God Above-Beneath-Beside-
Without-Within-and Everywhere;
Rising with the resistless tide
Of life, and Sure of Getting There.
Patient with Nature’s long delay,
Proud of our conscious upward swing;
Not sorry for a single day,
And Not Afraid of Anything!
With Motherhood at last awake-
With Power to Do and Light to See-
Women may now begin to Make
The People we are Meant to Be!
(Charlotte Perkins Stetson Gilman)
