Explore "The Modest Maid" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I am a modest San Francisco maid, / Fresh, fair, and young, / Such as the painters gladly have displayed, / The poets sung.
Modest? -Oh, modest as a bud unblown, / A thought unspoken; / Hidden and cherished, unbeheld, unknown, / In peace unbroken.
