LIGHT, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Be not much troubled about many things
Last Line: Be it thy task, through his good grace, to win it.
Subject(s): God; Optimism


BE not much troubled about many things,
Fear often hath no whit of substance in it,
And lives but just a minute;
While from the very snow the wheatblade springs.
And light is like a flower,
That bursts in full leaf from the darkest hour.
And He who made the night,
Made, too, the flowery sweetness of the light.
Be it thy task, through his good grace, to win it.
