QUATRAIN: NATURE by RALPH WALDO EMERSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: BOON NATURE YIELDS EACH DAY A BRAG WHICH WE NOW FIRST BEHOLD
Last Line: TOO BUSIED WITH THE CROWDED HOUR TO FEAR TO LIVE OR DIE.
Subject(s): NATURE;
Boon Nature yields each day a brag which we now first behold,
And trains us on to slight the new, as if it were the old:
But blest is he, who, playing deep, yet haply asks not why,
Too busied with the crowded hour to fear to live or die.
