Before me is stride,
Paraded by pride.
After is hope,
Her possible scope.
I'm but a girl,
Who's fourth in the whirl.

What am I?

Stride, paraded by pride

perhaps a march?

Hope, her possible scope

seems like may would fit, an auxiliary verb (and feminine name) that indicates possibility, a wish, or permission.

but a girl, who's fourth in the whirl

April is another feminine name, and the fourth month of the year, falling after March and before May
