THE OFFER, by HENRY DAVID THOREAU Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: I make ye an offer
Last Line: Somewhat larger than here.
First Line: I make ye an offer
Last Line: Somewhat larger than here.
I make ye an offer,
Ye gods hear the scoffer,
The scheme will not hurt you,
If ye will find goodness I will find virtue.
Though I am your creature,
And child of your nature,
I have pride still unbended,
And blood undescended,
Some free independence,
And my own descendents.
If ye will deal plainly,
I will strive mainly,
If ye will discover
Great plans to your lover,
And give him a sphere
Somewhat larger than here.
