NOW, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: With god above - beneath - beside
Last Line: The people we are meant to be!
Alternate Author Name(s): Stetson, Charlotte Perkins
Subject(s): Women's Rights; Feminism


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!
