Analysis of For A Charity Fair
Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson 1832 (Kvikne) – 1910 (Paris)
Some poor man in need
To bless and to feed,
I bring at its worth,
This day of my birth,
A book,-from my youth I must own.
But Who in His power
Gave bud and gave flower,
To bread can transform
In want's winter-storm
Each leaf that my Springtime has grown.
