Poet Analysis

First Line: THERE'S A SPACE FOR GOOD TO BLOOM
Last Line: AFTER ALL.
Subject(s): GOOD; HEARTS; MANKIND; HUMAN RACE;
THERE'S a space for good to bloom in
Every heart of man or woman, --
And however wild or human,
Or however brimmed with gall,
Never heart may beat without it;
And the darkest heart to doubt it
Has something good about it
After all.
