SONG, by LAURENCE BINYON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: For mercy, courage, kindness, mirth
Last Line: Lives but in its own excess.
First Line: For mercy, courage, kindness, mirth
Last Line: Lives but in its own excess.
For Mercy, Courage, Kindness, Mirth,
There is no measure upon earth.
Nay, they wither, root and stem,
If an end be set to them.
Overbrim and overflow,
If you own heart you would know;
For the spirit born to bless
Lives but in its own excess.
