He That Is Down Need Fear No Fall Poem by Louisa May Alcott

He That Is Down Need Fear No Fall

Rating: 2.6


He that is down need fear no fall,
He that is low no pride.
He that is humble ever shall
Have God to be his guide.

I am content with what I have,
Little be it, or much.
And, Lord! Contentment still I crave,
Because Thou savest such.

Fulness to them a burden is,
That go on pilgrimage.
Here little, and hereafter bliss,
Is best from age to age!

This poem is not by Louisa May Alcott but appears 200 years earlier in John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress on the lips of the shepherd boy.
