Classic and Contemporary Poetry

WITH A PAIR OF GLOVES LOST IN A WAGER by JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL

Poet Analysis

First Line: WE WAGERED, SHE FOR SUNSHINE, I FOR RAIN
Last Line: WHO MADE THE SUNSHINE WE TOGETHER SHARED?
WE wagered, she for sunshine, I for rain,
And I should hint sharp practice if I dared;
For was not she beforehand sure to gain
Who made the sunshine we together shared?
