Analysis of AN ANSWER TO THE INFERIOR'S CRY



AN ANSWER TO THE INFERIOR'S CRY

I stoop low myself for the kindly soul
That wasted my days of gloom;
An unsparingly bounteous heart that shared
Her green in answer to my cry.

Now I known "no external force can stop
The idea whose time has come"
When she said  "Enough of you to gad
With delight in eleemosynary sty.

So at e'ery blessed dawn, gratitude 'll ne'er
in silence lie in my schizoid breast
Because I know "a moment of gratitude makes
a difference in your attitude.'
