A GOOD DEED by LIZETTE WOODWORTH REESE

Poet Analysis

First Line: A GOOD DEED KNOWS NOR AGE NOR WINDING-SHEET
Last Line: BY THAT ONE TIME HE GAVE THE BEGGAR BREAD.

A GOOD deed knows nor age nor winding-sheet;
The centuries find and leave it quick and sweet;
Even the miser is remembered
By that one time he gave the beggar bread.
