TWO AT A FIRESIDE by EDWIN MARKHAM

Poet Analysis

First Line: I BUILT A CHIMNEY FOR A COMRADE OLD
Last Line: YET ALL THE WAY I GLOWED BEFORE THE FIRE.
Subject(s): RELIGION; THEOLOGY;
I built a chimney for a comrade old,
I did the service not for hope of hire—
And then I travelled on in winter's cold
Yet all the way I glowed before the fire.
