A LITTLE SONG OF LIFE by LIZETTE WOODWORTH REESE

Poet Analysis

First Line: GLAD THAT I LIVE AM I
Last Line: NEARER THE SKY.
Subject(s): LIFE; NATURE;
Glad that I live am I;
That the sky is blue;
Glad for the country lanes,
And the fall of dew.
After the sun the rain;
After the rain the sun;
This is the way of life,
Till the work be done.
All that need to do,
Be we low or high,
Is to see that we grow
Nearer the sky.
