THE SHEPHERD BOY'S SONG, FR. THE PILGRIM'S PROGRESS, by JOHN BUNYAN Poet's Biography First Line: He that is down need fear no fall Last Line: Is best from age to age. Variant Title(s): The Valley Of Humiliation Subject(s): Humility; Labor & Laborers; Work; Workers | ||||||||
He that is down need fear no fall; He that is low, no pride; He that is humble ever shall Have God to be his guide. I am content with what I have, Little be it or much; And, Lord, contentment still I crave, Because thou savest such. Fulness to such a burden is That go on pilgrimage; Here little, and hereafter bliss, Is best from age to age. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AFTER WORKING SIXTY HOURS AGAIN FOR WHAT REASON by HICOK.
