When Done For Thee

Alfredo Litiatco

The greatest tasks most trifling seem

When done for thee, my dear;
And for the self-same reason great
The trifling ones appear.

Thus picking up a handkerchief,

Or pulling up a chair,
Become, when, 'tis for thee, a most
Important affair.

Whilst setting out to face the world,

To fight one's way to fame,
Chills not but rather fires
If essayed in thy name.
