Explore "A Song of Life" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
In the rapture of life and of living, / I lift up my heart and rejoice, / And I thank the great Giver for giving / The soul of my gladness a voice. / In the glow of the glorious weather, / In the sweet-scented, sensuous air, / My burdens seem light as a feather- / They are nothing to bear.
In the strength and the glory of power, / In the pride and the pleasure of wealth / (For who dares dispute me my dower / Of talents and youth-time and health? ), / I can laugh at the world and its sages- / I am greater than seers who are sad, / For he is most wise in all ages / Who knows how to be glad.
