A Psalm Of Life: This poem is known for its optimism
and the theme right attitude of life. The poet gives out
the message that pleasure or sorrow is not the goal of
life. The purpose of life is to carry out all duties and
responsibilities for the progress and good of all. We
should realize life is shorter and quicker. Life is like a
battle field and we should not let ourselves be driven
like cattle. We should fight bravely as heroes. The poet
points out that the past and future are of no significance.
We should concentrate in making the best out of the
present. We may also follow footsteps of great men
who had laid their footsteps on sands of time.
