SONG by ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: LIGHT FOOT AND TIGHT FOOT
Last Line: THE STARS ARE OVERHEAD.
Subject(s): EVENING; GRASS; MORNING; SUNSET; TWILIGHT;

LIGHT foot and tight foot,
And green grass spread,
Early in the morning,
But hope is on ahead.

Brief day and bright day,
And sunset red,
Early in the evening,
The stars are overhead.
