THRALL by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: FRAGILE, TINY, JUST A SPRITE
Last Line: BE THE GATEWAY UNTO DEATH.

Fragile, tiny, just a sprite,
Holding me a thrall bedight,
Stronger than a giant's wand
Serves the word of your command.

Out from rushing worlds, though low
Should you whisper, I would know,
And would answer, though the breath
Be the gateway unto death.
