Explore "My Heritage" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I into life so full of love was sent / That all the shadows which fall on the way / Of every human being could not stay, / But fled before the light my spirit lent.
I saw the world through gold and crimson dyes: / Men sighed and said, "Those rosy hues will fade / As you pass on into the glare and shade! " / Still beautiful the way seems to mine eyes.
