AN INSOLUBLE PROBLEM by WILLIAM WATSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: RHONA, AS YET A TINY MITE
Last Line: NOT BEING GOD UPON HIS THRONE.
Subject(s): STARS;

RHONA, as yet a tiny mite
Not three years old, looked up to-night
At the resplendent heavens, and said:
"What are 'ose 'tars for?"

Little maid,
I cannot tell, I ne'er have known --
Not being God upon His throne.
