The Book of Life
Arthur Macy
1842 to 1904
Whoso his book of life doth con
From title-leaf to colophon
May read, if he but wrongly look,
Some sorry pages in his book.
But if he read aright each line,
Interpreting the scheme divine,
'T will be most fair to look upon
From title-leaf to colophon.
Arthur Macy's The Book of Life
I am busy working to bring Arthur Macy's "The Book of Life" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about Arthur Macy's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "The Book of Life" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
