Analysis of As Created
James Whitcomb Riley 1849 (Greenfield) – 1916 (Indianapolis)
There's a space for good to bloom in
Every heart of man or woman,--
And however wild or human,
Or however brimmed with gall,
Never heart may beat without it;
And the darkest heart to doubt it
Has something good about it
After all.
