Explore "It Is Good to Be Alive" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
It is good to be alive when the trees shine green, / And the steep red hills stand up against the sky; / Big sky, blue sky, with flying clouds between- / It is good to be alive and see the clouds drive by!
It is good to be alive when the strong winds blow, / The strong, sweet winds blowing straightly off the sea; / Great sea, green sea, with swinging ebb and flow- / It is good to be alive and see the waves roll free!
