Poet Analysis

First Line: IF THIS GREAT WORLD OF JOY AND PAIN
Last Line: TO BEAR, AND TO FORBEAR!

IF this great world of joy and pain
Revolve in one sure track;
If freedom, set, will rise again,
And virtue, flown, come back;
Woe to the purblind crew who fill
The heart with each day's care;
Nor gain, from past or future, skill
To bear, and to forbear!
