"Votes for women!" Was the cry, Reaching upward To the sky. Crashing glass, And flashing eye "Votes for women!" Was the cry. "Boats for women!" Was the cry. When the brave Were come to die. When the end Was drawing nigh "Boats for women!" Was the cry. Life has many Little jests Insignificant tests. Doubt and bitterness Assail But "Boats for women!" Tells the tale. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE RIGHTS OF WOMAN by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD THE RIGHTS OF WOMAN by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD HEMATITE HEIRLOOM LIVES ON (MAYBE DECEMBER 1980) by ALICE NOTLEY ON THE BEACH by CLARIBEL ALEGRIA FEMINIST POEM NUMBER ONE by ELIZABETH ALEXANDER HYPOCRITE SWIFT by LOUISE BOGAN FOR A GODCHILD, REGINA, ON THE OCCASION OF HER FIRST LOVE by TOI DERRICOTTE HESTER'S SONG by TOI DERRICOTTE TO A FLOCK OF GEESE by CLARK MCADAMS |
