Explore "SHE WHO IS TO COME (Charlotte Perkins Gilman)" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
A woman -- in so far as she beholdeth / 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!
