TO A CHILD, WRITTEN IN HER ALBUM by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH

Poet Analysis

First Line: SMALL SERVICE IS TRUE SERVICE WHILE IT LASTS
Last Line: PROTECTS THE LINGERING DEW-DROP FROM THE SUN.
SMALL service is true service while it lasts:
Of humblest Friends, bright Creature! scorn not one:
The Daisy, by the shadow that it casts,
Protects the lingering dew-drop from the Sun.
