Now

by Charlotte Perkins Gilman

　　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!
