She Who Is to Come(From In This Our World)
Gilman, Charlotte Perkins
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
(Americas most brilliant woman poet and critic; born 1860)A
Her one Beloved’s face;
A mother—with a great heart that enfoldeth
The children of the Race;
A body, free and strong, with that high beauty
That comes of perfect use, is built thereof;
A mind where Reason ruleth over Duty,
And Justice reigns with Love;
A self-poised, royal soul, brave, wise, and tender,
No longer blind and dumb;
A Human Being, of an unknown splendor,
Is she who is to come!
