The system wouldn't let me finish my comment because it was too long, so I will try to finish it here: The three stanzas I mentioned in the book were like this (and remember that they are also supposed to be in Italics) : But it was Cold in that water! It was cold! But it was High up there! It was high! Life is fine! Fine as wine! Life is fine!

A fine poem by Langston Hughes, but would have been even better if Poem Hunter had kept the original form. I have a book of poems by Hughes, and it shows the third, sixth, and ninth stanzas of this poem in Italics (which I can't do here, and maybe neither can PH, and that's why they didn't do it?)

I've got to say this is my favorite poem of all time. Though there are many poems that I like and love, none of them lifts my spirits as much as this poem does! No matter how sad I'm feeling, I read this poem and I find the strength to keep going - because life is fine, fine as wine, life is fine! ! !
