Explore "If Mother Knew" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
If mother knew the way I felt,- / And I'm sure a mother should,- / She wouldn't make it quite so hard / For a person to be good!
I want to do the way she says; / I try to all day long; / And then she just skips all the right, / And pounces on the wrong!
