[Emery.C.I]

AND HOW DOES THIS POEM RELATE TO WOMEN IN 19TH CENTURY?( i'll realy apreciate it)

You cannot rob us of the rights we cherish,
Nor turn our thoughts away
From the bright picture of a "Woman's Mission"
Our hearts portray.

We claim to dwell, in quiet and seclusion,
Beneath the household roof,--
From the great world's harsh strife, and jarring voices,
To stand aloof;--

Not in a dreamy and inane abstraction
To sleep our life away,
But, gathering up the brightness of home sunshine,
To deck our way.

As humble plants by country hedgerows growing,
That treasure up the rain,
And yield in odours, ere the day's declining,
The gift again;

So let us, unobtrusive and unnoticed,
But happy none the less,
Be privileged to fill the air around us
With happiness;

To live, unknown beyond the cherished circle,
Which we can bless and aid;
To die, and not a heart that does not love us
Know where we're laid.

[UnspokenSoul]

You cannot rob us of the rights we cherish,
Nor turn our thoughts away
From the bright picture of a "Woman's Mission"
Our hearts portray.
*
A woman or women are not going to give up their unalienable, god given rights, life, liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. They aren't going to change their minds about not listening to the hype of the world around her.
*
We claim to dwell, in quiet and seclusion,
Beneath the household roof,--
From the great world's harsh strife, and jarring voices,
To stand aloof;--

Not in a dreamy and inane abstraction
To sleep our life away,
But, gathering up the brightness of home sunshine,
To deck our way.

*
They just want peace and quiet to think about what is at hand, to continue to ignore everyone else, head held high, standing proudly. They are going to ponder about serious matters and then unleash their ideas, shocking everyone that didn't think they could do it. They just want a chance and they go for it, showing everyone who doubted them their true potential.
*
As humble plants by country hedgerows growing,
That treasure up the rain,
And yield in odours, ere the day's declining,
The gift again;

So let us, unobtrusive and unnoticed,
But happy none the less,
Be privileged to fill the air around us
With happiness;
*
The day is ending, snu turning into moon. They want to be let alone again, to bask in their glory (Showing everyone they could do it ..blah...)

[Robert Harrison]

Verse one. No one can take away from us that which we feel deep inside of us as a woman. It is ours, it is private.

Verse two. Thought we are housewives with responsibilities to our families, we if we so wish, have the right to our own private world, our own private thoughts.

Verse three. Not in selfish thoughts, thinking only of ourselves. But to gather in our hearts the happiness that is called home, that which we have helped create.

Verse four. Just as the hedgerows receive the gift of rain, so we receive the gift of happiness which our families give us.

Verse five. We go about our homely duties, sometimes unnoticed by those we love, but are happy with our lot.

Verse six. We are missed mostly in the homes we help make, and it is those who will remember us the most when we are no longer there.

This is a beautiful poem, and should be dedicated to all of those loyal and devoted homemakers.

Hope this helps.
