What do you see in the women you meet In your club life, day after day? Are you impartial and kindly of heart, And just, when their motives you weigh? Do you realize that most of them Are doing their best to make good? And give them credit for all they achieve In this glorious Sisterhood? Have you sympathy, and a friendly eye For the woman who strives in vain? Do you give her a lift along the way To the post she hopes to attain? And when she fails, have you been at her side, And have let her know that you care? And have you thought that "the last may be first," In the Sisterhood, Over There? So if you have made a success of things, And have gone to the top with speed, Be gracious, and offer a helping hand To the one not destined to lead; Give her warm words of praise, remembering That she, too, "hath done what she could," For the "mite" of all, not the strength of a few, Makes this glorious Sisterhood. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SHALL I SAY by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON SMOTHERED FIRES by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON WHEN I AM DEAD by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON ON HUNTINGDON'S 'MIRANDA' by SIDNEY LANIER THE COTTON CLUB by CLARENCE MAJOR DOMESDAY BOOK: JANE FISHER by EDGAR LEE MASTERS |
