This Is My Letter To The World
That never wrote to me,-
The simple new that nature told,
With tender majesty!.

Her message is commited
To hands I cannot see;
For love of her, sweet country men,
Judge tenderly of me!Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The form of her poem is rhymed verse, in this case, ballad verse (4/3/4/3) and full perfect rhyme ABAB!. The content is that the poem itself is a "letter to the world", even though the world never contacted her!.!.!.in other words, it's an unsolicited note to something bigger than her!.!.!.and she says that "her message is commited to hands I cannot see", in other words, Nature's message is meant for something beyond her knowledge, so she says to her "country men", because of love of nature, "judge tenderly of me", meaning if you love nature, don't be too harse to judge nature's child!. The form in this case, the ballad verse, combines with the content to create a ballad of sorts that sings a song of empathy!. Now, how you're going to put that together in a musical presentation!.!.!.well, good luck!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
