THE BURDEN OF STRENGTH by GEORGE MEREDITH

Poet Analysis

First Line: IF THAT THOU HAST THE GIFT OF STRENGTH, THEN KNOW
Last Line: A HOPELESS WRESTLER SHALL THY SOUL CONTEND.
Subject(s): STRENGTH;
IF that thou hast the gift of strength, then know
Thy part is to uplift the trodden low;
Else in a giant's grasp until the end
A hopeless wrestler shall thy soul contend.
