SAYINGS: 1 by JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL

Poet Analysis

First Line: IN LIFE'S SMALL THINGS BE RESOLUTE AND GREAT
Last Line: "I FIND THEE WORTHY; DO THIS DEED FOR ME""?"

IN life's small things be resolute and great
To keep thy muscle trained: know'st thou when Fate
Thy measure takes, or when she'll say to thee,
"I find thee worthy; do this deed for me"?
