Alice Cary, a 19th century American poet, crafted verses that resonate with themes of social justice, nature, and feminism. Her work, marked by emotional depth and a strong moral compass, reflects the era’s challenges and her personal experiences, making her a significant, yet often overlooked, literary figure.
‘Nobility’ by Alice Cary is a straightforward, inspirational poem about where honor and nobility truly come from.
True worth is in being, not seeming,—
In doing, each day that goes by,
Some little good—not in dreaming
Of great things to do by and by.
